ThermaX™ PPSU 3D Printing Filament

Polyphenylsulfone (PPSF or PPSU) is a high-temperature aromatic sulfone polymer. Long considered to be one of the highest performance polymers in the plastics world. PPSU has excellent thermal and chemical resistance, making it well suited for demanding applications in automotive, aerospace, electronics, defense, industrial, medical, semi-con applications. Previously only available to Stratasys® customers – now you can print with this ultra performance polymer.

Gearbox HT2™ 3D Printer: Print industrial-grade parts using our PPSU filament and more with the new Gearbox™ HT2 High-Temp 3D Printer.
