Bed Temperature:

• 20-40°C above chamber temperature, keeping below 150°C for amorphous print.

Annealing conditions:

• Slow heating rate (3°C/min ramp rate). 170-180°C, 2-4 hours. Optimization may be required.

Best results may be expected from elevated build-space temperatures and are machine specific. This datasheet represents properties that may be expected from build-space temperatures between 50-120°C on ISO 527-2 1A samples. Samples have been successfully produced on <120°C build-space temperatures, however higher performance may be expected from machines with >120°C build space temperatures. Results vary widely from machine to machine.
Annealing may be required to generate semi-crystalline parts, depending on the machine and process conditions used in printing. Semi-crystalline parts can be made in some machines by using chamber temperatures >150°C, however in other machines the best results may be achieved by printing parts with reduced crystallinity and subsequently annealing. Annealing temperatures between 170-180°C are recommended. Parts may deform if higher annealing temperatures are used. Depending on the print parameters, annealing conditions may require adjustment for best results.
