ESD-Safe Materials
Additive manufacturing is an increasingly attractive option for the electronics industry, promoting innovation, efficiency, and quick turn-around time.
Benefits of 3D Printing ESD-Safe Parts
ESD-safe filament is used in 3D printing to create objects that prevent or reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD). Electrostatic discharge can damage sensitive electronic components and circuits, so using ESD-safe materials is crucial in environments where electronic components are handled or assembled.
Protects Sensitive Electronics
ESD-safe filament helps in manufacturing components that prevent static electricity from building up, thereby protecting sensitive electronic parts from static discharge damage.
Prevents Static Build-up
ESD-safe materials are designed to dissipate static charges rather than allow them to accumulate, reducing the risk of accidental discharges that could harm electronic devices.
Improves Safety in Electronic Assembly
In environments where electronics are assembled or tested, using ESD-safe components reduces the risk of static-related damage, contributing to overall safety and reliability.
Versatility in Applications
Materials with ESD-Safe
Choose from static-dissipative 3D printing materials for both FDM and SLA — including ABS-ESD7, PETG-ESD and PA612-ESD filaments and ESD Resin — to make jigs, fixtures, trays and enclosures that keep static away from sensitive electronics.
Thermoplastic
For tougher and larger fixtures, trays and enclosures, we print ESD-safe thermoplastics on FDM — including ABS-ESD7, PETG-ESD and PA612-ESD — with conductive additives blended through the material for consistent static dissipation.
ESD-Safe Materials
Metal
This material can be machined or formed through sheet metal fabrication to create housings, brackets and other metal parts that need high strength and low weight.
