Applications
Best suited for:
- Lightweight objects
- Shock-absorbent supports
- Parts that require mailabilities, such as in forms and molding or modeling and prototyping applications.
But be aware, to find the best foam/solid balance for your part, you need to be willing to tweak and tune some settings.
Properties
Uniquely, the material prints with vastly altered material properties depending on the print conditions. At higher temperatures with lower throughput, the most lightweight foam is produced. On standard PLA settings, the material is tough and impact resistant. It features a density of approximately 50-60% of a part printed with standard PLA.
