HTL
HTL is a high performance engineering material with high strength, rigidity, and heat resistance, able to withstand temperatures up to 140C.
BIO
BIO is a biocompatible resin suitable for non-implantable medical applications. BIO can undergo sterilization and has passed numerous ISO biocompatibility tests.
RG
RG from the Forward AM Ultracur3D® photopolymer resin line is a durable engineering material which can be used to print functional end-use parts. Its key feature is that it doesn’t uptake any water and is suitable for a wide range of applications such as electrical cases, snappers and functional prototyping. Only available on the S240.
