3D Systems’ Accura AMX High-Temp 300C, is an ultrahigh-temperature resin that is engineered to meet the demands of applications requiring the highest levels of heat resistance. It is a print production-grade, highly thermal-resistant, translucent for elevated temperature fluid or flow visualization.

The ultrahigh-temperature-resistant rigid plastic is engineered to withstand the harshest thermal environments. The company says it is the industry’s most heat-resistant SLA material with a heat-deflection temperature (HDT) of over 300°C at low stress (at 0.455 MPa) that does not require a post thermal cure.

Formnext Events in North America 

Gardner Business Media has partnered with AMT — The Association for Manufacturing and Mesago Messe Frankfurt to bring new Formnext events to North America.

  • August 2023: Formnext Forum Austin was held at the Palmer Event Center in Austin, Texas. Listen to our on AM Radio.
  • April 2025: Formnext Chicago will take place April 8-10, 2025, at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois. Visit the .

Applications include high-temperature components testing and general use parts, as well as low-pressure molding/tooling such as expanding foams and rubbers. It can also be used for functional and components for fixtures, mounts, housings, white goods and personal care products. It is also well suited for elevated-temperature fluid or gas flow visualization, and overmolding.

The resin also offers advantages such as a shortened production workflow and no requirement for a post thermal cure. It also provides excellent visualization for parts requiring evaluation of internal features and fluid flow performance; and chemical and auto fluid compatibility.

The resin also boasts isotropic properties. The SLA technology prints parts that are generally isotropic in mechanical properties, meaning the parts printed along either the XYZ axis will give similar results. Parts do not need to be oriented to get the highest mechanical properties, further improving the degree of freedom for part orientation for mechanical properties.
