Cosine can print billets in virtually any shape out of virtually any thermoplastic. 3D printed billets can be significantly cheaper than extruded billets. Cosine can produce short-run batches of billets or even a single part.
PPS (25% carbon fiber - Not machined)
This RAW block of PPS is a cheaper alternative to a machine PPS, but keeps all the same properties such as temperature resistance, strength, chemical resistance and flame retardant.
If you don’t mind your billet having a RAW finish, then this is the billet for you.

Types of PPS (Not Machined)
PPS (25% carbon fiber - machined)
This PPS is a 25% carbon fiber-filled high-temperature thermoplastic with an exceptional balance of cost, temperature resistance, strength, chemical resistance and flame retardant. PPS is often used when long-term high-temperature performance and dimensional stability are a must, even in the presence of destructive chemicals.

polypropylene
Polypropylene is a cost-effective material that offers a combination of impressive physical, chemical, mechanical, thermal and electrical properties not found in any other thermoplastic. Compared to low or high density polyethylene, it has a low impact strength, but exceptional working temperature with tensile strength.
