Description
CPE (co-polyester) materials are chemical resistant, tough and demonstrate good dimensional stability. It is a preferred choice for both functional prototypes and mechanical parts. While both CPE and CPE+ provide similar performance characteristics, CPE+ provides the added benefit of higher temperature resistance and increased impact strength.
Reasons to choose Ultimaker CPE Family:
-
Excellent chemical resistance
-
Excellent toughness and dimensional stability
-
Good interlayer adhesion, especially when using the front door add-on
-
Low levels of ultrafine particles (UFPs) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
-
Ideal for short run manufacturing and functional prototypes
-
Transparent filament option available
Differences between Ultimaker CPE and CPE+
-
CPE is available in a wide range of colors to choose from, including grayscale for more professional looking models.
-
CPE’s tensile and flexural strength are higher, whilst CPE+ is formulated to be up to 10 times tougher.
-
CPE+ features a temperature resistance of up to 100 ºC when compared to CPE, which is only resistant up to 70 ºC.
-
CPE has a better build plate adhesion than CPE+, but you won’t notice the difference when using the stickers supplied in our Advanced 3D Printing Kit.
