Onyx
What is Onyx?
Onyx - Flexural strength: 71 MPa
Onyx is a micro carbon filled Nylon. Onyx is 1.4 times stronger than ABS and can be reinforced with any continuous fibre. Onyx is known for its superior chemical resistance, heat tolerance, and surface finish.
What is Onyx FR?
Onyx FR - Flexural strength: 71 MPa
Onyx FR is a blue card certified UL94 V-0 material that possesses similar mechanical properties to Onyx. Its primarily used in applications in which flame retardancy, light weight, and strength are required.
What is Onyx ESD?
Onyx ESD - Flexural strength: 83 MPa
Onyx ESD is a static dissipative safe variant of Onyx. Whilst meeting stringent ESD safety requirements, Onyx ESD offers excellent strength, stiffness, and surface finish. It’s best used in applications that require ESD safe materials.
What is Precise PLA?
Precise PLA and Nylon - Flexural Strength: 50 MPa
PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a cost-effective option for non-functional prototyping. Markforged Precise PLA is ideal for design iterations, fit checks, concept models, and visual-only parts that are not mechanically demanding. Precise PLA is available in eight different colours (black, grey, yellow, red, blue, orange, green and white) to create colour-coded prototypes, tool holders, and keep out zones.
Nylon parts are smooth, non-abrasive, and easily painted. They can be reinforced with any continuous fibre and work best for non-marrying work holding, repeated handling, and cosmetic parts.
What are the benefits of Onyx?
Onyx is used by our 3D printer, which manufactures custom componentry with unique strength and intricate detail. Few materials have the versatility of Onyx; it offers high strength, toughness, and chemical resistance when printed alone, and can be reinforced with Continuous Fibers to yield aluminum-strength parts.
What does AE Components manufacture from Onyx?
AE Components prints industrial-grade manufacturing componentry including:
