Overview
ULTEM™ 1010 resin is a high-performance FDM® polyetherimide (PEI) thermoplastic. It exhibits high tensile strength in addition
to broad chemical resistance and excellent thermal stability. Its high heat resistance makes it autoclave-capable for applications
involving sterilization and composite lay-up tooling.

This material is available in both general-purpose and certified grades (CG). ULTEM 1010 resin is used with breakaway support
material and is available in natural color.
