We’re excited to announce industrial FDM plastics are now available on our platform. These include:
- ABS M30 Stratasys: 25-70% stronger than standard ABS with significantly stronger layer bonding than ABS and greater tensile, impact and flexural strength.
- ABSPlus Stratasys: production-grade thermoplastic with soluble supports.
- ULTEM PEI 9085: flame-retardant high-performance thermoplastic.
- ULTEM PEI 1010: offers the highest heat resistance, chemical resistance and tensile strength of any FDM thermoplastic. Ideal for automotive, aerospace, medical and food production industries.
- PC Stratasys: offers accuracy, durability and stability, creating strong parts that withstand functional testing.
- Nylon 6 Stratasys: offers excellent strength and stiffness while maintaining good impact resistance.
- Markforged Onyx: nylon thermoplastic infused with chopped carbon fiber with increased stiffness and high dimensional stability.

Industrial FDM vs desktop FDM
In comparison with desktop FDM materials, industrial FDM materials offer:
- Increased accuracy (industrial ±0.15% vs desktop ±1%)
- Water-soluble support materials, making it easier to achieve smoother surfaces and complex parts
- Larger build size
They're best suited for most prototyping, modelling or low-volume manufacturing requirements You can learn more about the differences of industrial FDM vs. desktop FDM in this article.
How Peak Additive saved $4800 by using industrial FDM over injection molding
Parts manufactured from industrial FDM materials are often used as a replacement for injection molded parts.
Our customer Peak Additive saved ~$4800 and 7 weeks by choosing industrial FDM over injection molding, without sacrificing the physical properties of injection molding, including UV stability.
