Choosing the right material for your MZhP 3D printer requires a comprehensive assessment based on application needs, mechanical performance requirements, post-processing conditions, and cost control. Prioritize materials whose properties match the intended use case.
Selection by Application Area
Industrial functional parts (e.g., gears, housings, connectors): HP 3D HR PA 12 is the preferred choice, offering high strength, heat resistance, and dimensional stability, suitable for long-term service.
Flexible parts (e.g., seals, cushioning pads): HP 3D HR TPU 01 is recommended, offering excellent elasticity and fatigue resistance.
Automotive or sporting goods: Consider HP 3D HR PA 11, which offers stronger impact resistance and is suitable for dynamic load environments.
Medical rehabilitation equipment: PA12 material combined with the MJF process can be used to achieve lightweight and personalized customization; it has already been used in orthopedic braces printing.
Metal structural components (such as molds and transmission parts): Use 316L stainless steel or 17-4 PH stainless steel supported by HP Metal Jet S100 to meet the requirements of high strength and corrosion resistance.
