2. Flexural Test (ASTM D790-17)
3. Izod Impact Test - Notched (ASTM D256-10)
4. Izod Impact Test - Unnotched (ASTM D256-10)
5. Heat Deflection Temperature (ASTM D648-18)
Cost Comparison & Savings
NEXT 3DP ULTEM™ 9085 provides a high-performance, cost-effective alternative to Stratasys® ULTEM™ 9085 while maintaining comparable mechanical properties and thermal resistance. Why pay more when you can achieve the same, if not better, results for less?
Overall Summary
NEXT 3DP ULTEM™ 9085 and Stratasys® ULTEM™ 9085 show remarkably similar mechanical properties, with only small differences between the two materials.
NEXT 3DP ULTEM™ 9085 measured slightly stiffer, which may benefit applications needing added rigidity.
Stratasys® ULTEM™ 9085 showed marginally better impact resistance, particularly in high-impact, unnotched scenarios — though both materials remain highly durable.
Heat resistance is virtually identical, with both materials performing reliably under elevated temperatures.
NEXT 3DP ULTEM™ 9085 offers significant cost savings, priced at nearly half the cost of Stratasys® ULTEM™ 9085 — making it the smarter, budget-friendly choice without sacrificing performance.
Final Thoughts
If you're looking for a reliable, high-performance ULTEM™ 9085 filament without the premium price tag, NEXT 3DP ULTEM™ 9085 delivers. With comparable mechanical strength, heat resistance, and toughness to Stratasys® ULTEM™ 9085, the biggest difference is the cost — saving you over $375 per spool.
