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.

Case Studies and data sheets
Two designers, drawn together by their passion for snowboarding and the technology and design behind snowboarding gear/equipment, decided to take matters into their own hands and create a customizable, 3D printed solution. Slicelab and f=f design studios came together with the Stratasys Origin One and Henkel Loctite teams to reimagine an integral part of snowboard bindings: the high back.
This material processing guide provides information about support tips, printing, part removal, cleaning, postcure, and general material best practices for LOCTITE 3D 3172 material.
