DuraForm EX is an impact resistant rigid plastic that is ideal for DDM applications and functional living hinges.
The DuraForm EX rigid SLS material has fantastic flexural strength making it one of the best rigid materials available today for creating functional snaps & living hinges. EX is also, a good general prototyping material for fit form and functional applications.
These extremely tough SLS parts can be used in DDM (Direct Digital Manufacturing) applications where, repeatability and accuracy are necessary.
