Overview

PPSF/PPSU (polyphenylsulfone) material has the greatest heat and chemical resistance of all FFF materials - ideal for aerospace, automotive and medical applications. Ideal for prototypes exposed to extreme conditions. PPSF/PPSU produced parts not only mechanically superior, but also dimensionally accurate, to better predict end-product performance.
