PolyCore™
PolyCore™ is a range of 3D printing pellets that are specifically designed for big area additive manufacturing (BAAM) or middle area additive manufacturing (MAAM). PolyCore™ are commonly applied in two main applications: Architecture & Tooling/Molding. Within these applications there are a number of grades suiting more specific needs, such as high and low temperature mold making or weather resistant grades for exterior use. PolyCore™ pellets are optimised for printability, functionality, dimensional stability, and with great focus on layer adhesion.

Outdoor Architecture
PolyCore™ ASA-3012
PolyCore™ ASA-3012 combines excellent printability, good mechanical properties and outstanding weather resistance. Parts printed with ASA-3012 can maintain > 90% of their mechanical properties after extended periods of irradiation exposure (following ISO 4893.2). It is widely used to produce outdoor structures that can withstand harsh environments.
PolyCore™ PETG-1013
PolyCore™ PETG-1013 is a 30% glass fiber reinforced PETG compound featuring good weather resistance, excellent dimensional stability and cost-efficiency. It is suitable for architectural applications with lower temperature requirements.
Indoor Decoration
PolyCore™ PETG-1000
PolyCore™ PETG-1000 is an optically clear grade of PETG suitable for indoor applications such as luminaires, furniture and decorative pieces. It can be easily colored to match different aesthetic needs.

Mold & Tooling
Low Temperature Mold
PolyCore™ ABS-5012
PolyCore™ ABS-5012 is a cost-effective choice for 3D printed molds and tools that are used in low temperature range (ambient up to 80℃).
PolyCore™ ABS-5022
PolyCore™ ABS-5022 is a great choice of 3D printed molds and tools for low temperatures (ambient up to 80℃). The carbon fiber reinforcement offers increased stiffness, strength and resistance to deformation under pressure.
Medium Temperature Mold
PolyCore™ PC-GF
PolyCore™ PC-GF is designed for composite tooling applications, and suitable for curing and autoclaving temperatures up to 130℃.
