Strengths
- Layer adhesion: 40/100. Z-axis bonding is better than the material-family context.
- Consistency: 87/100. Repeatability is one of the stronger signals in this material profile.
- Impact: 46/100. Impact behavior is competitive against the material-family context.
- Tensile: 39/100. Tensile behavior is competitive against the material-family context.
Limitations
- Tensile: 39/100. Avoid using this as the primary choice for tensile-loaded parts.
- Stiffness: 68/100. Expect less shape stability than the stronger materials in the same family.
Engineering trade-offs
- Good repeatability does not compensate for low tensile capability in load-bearing designs.
Recommended applications
- Repeatable print jobs and production-style batches

Methodology and limitations
Results are comparative 3DPIceland measurements from home-built test equipment. Thermal is a nearby BlueDOT probe-indicated fixture temperature, not ASTM D648, ISO 75 or specimen temperature. Missing evidence remains n/a. Scores and test results are not recalculated by this publishing layer and do not replace certified manufacturer datasheets or accredited laboratory testing.
