MC006 Reusable Prototyping Polymorph Plastic low melting temperature of about 60°C

Overview

Features

Polymorph (Polycaprolactone) is non-toxic, biodegradable polyester with a low melting temperature of about 60°C (140°F)
Prototype plastic parts can be made by simply heating in hot water until it is clear and then shaping by hand
When cool it becomes nylon like white plastic
Polymorph can be re-used by simply re-heating and re-shaping
Plastic beads supplied in a re-usable plastic container
Although expensive, polymorph is suitable for 3D modelling as it can be shaped by hand or pressed into a shape through the use of a mould
Rapid prototyping
Fabrication of mechanical parts Armatures/frames for models
Specialised components - e.g. motor mountings
Joining components together
Mouldings for handles & orthopaedic aids
Vacuum forming moulds
Can be pressed into sheets and rolled into rods
Small-scale modelling
Repair of plastic objects
