Accura Bluestone is a rigid, stable engineered Nano composite for high performance applications.

Accura Bluestone is a high stiffness, engineered nano-composite, which is, optimally designed for production of high rigidity thermally resistant models.

Accura Bluestone is an excellent fit for applications requiring; High heat, added stiffness and thermal resistance. It’s ideal for applications in aerodynamics, lighting applications, molds and masters for vacuum casting and thermoforming.

In order to achieve the highest heat deflection; Post thermal curing (annealing) is required, which may extend leadtimes.
