For parts that will be exposed to elevated temperatures, Makelab offers several high-temperature materials:
1. Material Heat Deflection Temperatures
Nylon (PA) — Heat resistance up to ~100-110°C (~210-230°F). Best for functional parts, under-hood automotive components, and industrial fixtures.
ABS — Heat resistance up to ~90-100°C (~195-210°F). Best for enclosures, housings, and general functional parts.
PETG — Heat resistance up to ~70-75°C (~160-170°F). Best for moderate-heat applications with chemical exposure.
Polycarbonate (PC) — Heat resistance up to ~130-140°C (~265-285°F). Best for highest heat applications, automotive, and aerospace. Note: This is a special order material with longer lead time.
High-Temp Resins (Industrial SLA) — Heat resistance varies by formulation, with some going up to 200°C+. Best for detailed parts requiring heat resistance. Consult with our team on availability.
2. Important Considerations
Heat resistance depends on load, duration, and application. Parts under mechanical stress may deform at lower temperatures than the stated heat deflection temperature.
