What is Ultem material?

Ultem® (polyetherimide) is a semi-transparent high strength plastic material that can operate in high service temperature environments. Ultem® is resistant to hot water and steam and can withstand repeated cycles in a steam autoclave.

Can ULTEM be 3D printed?

Existing certifications: ULTEM™ resin is FST rated and one of the only 3D printing plastics certified for aircraft components. In the aerospace industry, most parts are required to have this rating to ensure the flame, smoke and toxicity (FST) resistance of a material.

Does ULTEM absorb water?

Ultem® 1000 is non hygroscopic, FDA, and USP Class VI compliant. It absorbs minimal amounts of moisture and can be cleaned easily. As a result, it finds applications in high moisture, electrical device, medical and surgical components.

Can Ultem be 3D printed?

Does Ultem absorb water?

What is ULTEM used for?

Often used in the production of circuit boards, eyeglasses, food preparation and sterilization equipment, and, perhaps most notably, aircraft parts, ULTEM is known for its strength and durability.

Is ULTEM 1000 FDA approved?

Ultem® 1000 is FDA and USP Class VI compliant and USDA and NSF approved. The standard color is amber.

What is ULTEM good for?

What temperature does Ultem print at?

360 – 390°C
Extruder Temperature: 360 – 390°C (all-metal extruder) Print Bed Temperature: 140 – 160°C°C.

Can you paint Ultem?

Finishing: For applications that require a custom finish, ULTEM™ resin can be painted or finished in different textures using bead blasting or sanding. Because it is a high-strength material, it is important to note that ULTEM™ resin’s strong surface will take more time to sand and finish by hand.

Is ULTEM brittle?

While Ultem® is also resistant to a broad spectrum of chemicals, its brittle nature makes it more prone to environmental stress cracking.

Can ULTEM be machined?

There’s more than one particular type of ULTEM PEI you can machine, and each has slightly different properties for perfecting this material’s use in different applications.

Is ULTEM waterproof?

ULTEM™ – safety for the environment and users It is weatherproof and does not react in contact with the soil.

What color is ULTEM 1000?

amber
