Material Description

LOCTITE® 3D 3172 by Henkel is a tough and durable 3D printing material compatible with Stratasys Origin One 3D printers. 3172 is ideal for high impact and compressive applications due to an outstanding impact strength of 73 J/m. This material has endured rigorous in field testing and proven to outperform under extreme stress and high-load conditions. Printed parts have a good surface finish compatible with machining, tapping, and polishing.

Consider when replacing impact modified PP, Nylon 6, HDPE.

Color options for 3172 are Gray, Cyan, and Clear.
