Polypropylene (PP): common questions
What is Polypropylene (PP) good for?
Polypropylene (PP) is a common choice for living hinges, containers, packaging prototypes, chemical-resistant parts. Lightweight, chemical-resistant, and fatigue-resistant. Great for living hinges and containers.
How strong and heat-resistant is Polypropylene (PP)?
Printed Polypropylene (PP) parts have a typical tensile strength of 30–40 MPa and heat resistance of ~100 °C. These are typical values for printed parts in the XY direction; strength between layers is lower, so orientation matters for loaded parts.
How big a part can you print in Polypropylene (PP), and how fast?
Up to 350 × 320 × 325 mm in one piece; larger parts are printed in sections and joined, after a review. Production takes 2-5 business days, and rush service is available.
