Use the Stratasys F170 3D printer to build your parts. This FDM machine uses ABS, PLA or UV resistant ASA thermoplastics. For sophisticated designs support material is being used. Supporting structures are being completely removed in an alkaline bath. During postprocessing threads can be tapped, boreholes can be made or inserts can be installed. ABS and ASA building materials are available in various colors. Research technology as well provides support for creating 3D models or purchasing 3D printed parts made of other materials from external suppliers.
