Engineering score profile
Engineering radar
Legacy Impact radar: 27.286 % of legacy rig capacity. This historical visual reference is the mean corrected Flat/Upright result divided by the matching rig capacity; it is not a modern engineering score.
Izod and Charpy use versioned method references and together form one equally weighted impact family. Overall requires all five families and both calibrated methods; incomplete profiles are not ranked. Legacy Impact and thermal are outside Overall. Missing axes have gaps with no marker or filled polygon; measured zero retains a centre marker.
Fixture thermal result
Nearby BlueDOT probe-indicated fixture temperature from a non-standard comparative 3DPIceland method; not ASTM D648, ISO 75, specimen temperature, certified HDT or a manufacturer limit.

Engineering interpretation
Strengths
- Consistency: 89/100. Repeatability is one of the stronger signals in this material profile.
- Tensile: 35/100. Tensile behavior is competitive against the material-family context.
- Stiffness: 100/100. Stiffness is a relative advantage in this comparison group.
Limitations
- Tensile: 35/100. Avoid using this as the primary choice for tensile-loaded parts.
- Izod/Charpy impact family: 14/100. Validate impact or shock-loaded components against their application requirements.
- Layer adhesion: 22/100. Z-axis performance should be treated with caution.
Engineering trade-offs
- Good repeatability does not compensate for low tensile capability in load-bearing designs.
- Stiffness is useful for shape stability, but impact tolerance is a separate limitation.
Recommended applications
- Rigid brackets, fixtures and shape-stable prototypes
- Repeatable print jobs and production-style batches
- Cosmetic parts, concept models or low-load prototypes
- Avoid high impact components
Metric rankings and percentiles

| Tensile | 35/100 | 49 / 243 | Better than 80% |
| Impact | — | — | — |
| Izod | 14/100 | 17 / 83 | Better than 81% |
| Charpy | 14/100 | 20 / 82 | Better than 77% |
| Stiffness | 100/100 | 1 / 240 | Better than 100% |
| Consistency | 89/100 | 8 / 243 | Better than 97% |
| Layer adhesion | 22/100 | 136 / 243 | Better than 44% |
| Thermal | 45/100 | 27 / 226 | Better than 88% |
Decision guidance
- Use this material for moderate requirements after checking the weakest axis.
- Validate impact-focused or shock-loaded designs against the measured Izod/Charpy results.
