Stratasys Antero 800NA is an unfilled PEKK (polyetherketoneketone) filament grade printed by fused deposition modeling in a heated build chamber. Printed parts are anisotropic: they are weaker across layers in the build direction than along the deposited roads, and they show visible layer lines and some porosity between roads. Overhangs need support structures that are removed after printing, and surfaces that need tight tolerances or smoothness are usually machined. The grade is used for lightweight, chemically resistant end-use parts and tooling such as aerospace ducting, brackets, housings and fixtures.

Stratasys Antero 800NA, annealed, is a natural-colored PEKK (polyetherketoneketone) grade printed by fused deposition modeling in a heated chamber and annealed after the build. Parts are built from fused extruded layers, so they are weaker across layers than along them, show visible layer lines and need removable support under overhangs. Annealing raises the crystallinity of the printed polymer, improving stiffness, heat resistance and chemical resistance, but it causes slight shrinkage that the design must allow for. Typical uses are aerospace ducting and brackets, jigs and fixtures, and low-volume parts exposed to heat, fuels or chemicals.

Stratasys Antero 800NA printed by fused deposition modeling is a natural-colored PEKK filament grade in the as-built condition, without post-print heat treatment. Extruded into a heated build chamber, it forms parts whose interlayer bonds make them weaker and less ductile in the build direction than within the layers. As-built surfaces show layer lines and stair-stepping, overhangs need removable support, and mating faces are usually machined. Parts are used for aerospace ducts, brackets and enclosures exposed to heat and chemicals, and for jigs, fixtures and tooling.

PLA printed by fused deposition modeling is polylactic acid filament melted in a heated nozzle and deposited bead by bead to build a part layer by layer. It is among the easiest filaments to print, adhering well to the build plate and warping little, so an enclosed heated chamber is not usually needed. Printed parts are anisotropic, weakest between layers where bead fusion governs strength, and they show visible layer lines and small voids between beads. Overhangs need supports that leave marks when removed. Typical uses are visual models, fit-check prototypes, jigs and fixtures, and lightly loaded housings, kept away from heat and sustained load because the material softens readily.
Anycubic PLA is a polylactic acid filament grade from Anycubic, extruded layer by layer by fused deposition modeling. Like other PLA printed this way, its parts are strongest along the deposited roads and weakest across layer interfaces. They show visible layer lines and some voids between beads, and they need removable supports under steep overhangs. PLA prints with little warping and needs no heated enclosure, but printed parts soften at relatively low temperatures and are poorly suited to warm or sustained-load service. It is used for prototypes, fit and form models, light-duty jigs and fixtures, display pieces and hobby parts that operate near room temperature.

Bambu PLA Basic is Bambu Lab's general-purpose polylactic acid filament for fused deposition modeling. Parts are built from extruded beads laid down layer by layer, so they are anisotropic and weakest between layers, with visible layer lines and internal voids that depend on infill and toolpath. PLA prints with little warping and needs no heated chamber, but overhangs need supports that mark the surface, and parts soften at fairly low temperatures. Printed parts are used for prototypes, fit checks, fixtures, enclosures, display models and other lightly loaded parts kept away from heat.

Bambu Lab Bambu PLA Basic in the annealed condition is a PLA filament grade printed by fused deposition modeling and heat-treated after printing. As printed, parts have a layered structure of fused extruded roads with visible layer lines and some voids between roads, are weaker across layers than along them, and need support under overhangs. Annealing crystallizes the largely amorphous as-printed polymer and raises its heat resistance, but it also causes shrinkage and can distort thin or unevenly supported features, so dimensions need compensation. Annealed parts are used for fixtures, jigs, housings and functional prototypes that must keep their shape at moderately elevated temperatures.

BigRep rPLA is a polylactic acid filament grade from BigRep, printed by fused deposition modeling, in which the melted filament is extruded through a nozzle to build parts bead by bead and layer by layer. Like other printed PLA, it warps little and needs no heated chamber, but parts are anisotropic: strength across layers in the build direction is lower than within a layer, and surfaces show layer lines. Overhangs need supports that are removed afterward, and sanding or coating gives a smoother finish. Printed parts are used for prototypes, visual and architectural models, patterns, and jigs and fixtures that stay at modest temperatures.

Flashforge PLA Basic is a general-purpose polylactic acid filament grade printed by fused deposition modeling, in which it is melted and laid down through a heated nozzle layer by layer. Like other PLA filaments, it prints with little warping, but parts are anisotropic: strength across layers depends on interlayer bonding and is lower than along the deposited beads, and voids between beads lower density. Surfaces show layer lines, overhangs need removable supports, and parts soften at modest temperatures. It is used for concept models, fit-check prototypes, display pieces and light-duty jigs and fixtures. Every value on this page is read from Flashforge's own material data sheet — quoted, cited and dated — and is the maker's statement about printed material, not a measurement by MatWorld; none has yet been reviewed by a person.
Markforged Precise PLA is a polylactic acid filament grade printed by fused deposition modeling, in which the material is melted and extruded through a heated nozzle in successive layers. As with other extruded PLA, printed parts are anisotropic and weaker across layer interfaces than along the deposited roads. They show visible layer lines on side walls and stepping on shallow curved surfaces. PLA's low shrinkage and slight warping tendency make it straightforward to print to good dimensional accuracy, though overhangs need support structures that are removed afterwards. Parts are used mainly for visual and fit-check prototypes, fixtures, jigs and display models where the material's low heat resistance is acceptable.

Prusa Research Prusament PLA is a polylactic acid filament grade printed by fused deposition modeling, extruded through a heated nozzle as beads laid down layer by layer. Printed parts are anisotropic, with weaker bonding between layers than along the beads, and show visible layer lines and small voids between beads. PLA warps little, so it prints readily without an enclosed chamber, though overhangs need removable supports. Parts are used for prototypes, fit-check models, jigs, fixtures and housings that see modest temperatures and loads.

QIDI Tech PLA Rapido is a polylactic acid filament grade for fused deposition modeling, formulated for fast printing. Like other extruded PLA, it is built up from fused roads, so parts show visible layer lines, small voids between roads, and lower strength across layers than along them. It prints with little warping, needs supports only under steep overhangs, and can be sanded or coated for a smoother finish. Printed parts are used for concept models, fit and form prototypes, light-duty jigs and fixtures, and display pieces that will not see heat or sustained loads.

Raise3D Hyper Speed PLA is a polylactic acid filament grade printed by fused deposition modeling, formulated for extrusion at higher print speeds than standard PLA. Like other extruded PLA, parts are built from fused beads and are anisotropic, weakest across layers, where strength depends on interlayer bonding. It shrinks and warps little and needs no heated chamber, but parts show layer lines, stair-stepping on curved surfaces and marks from supports under overhangs. Printed parts serve as rapid prototypes, concept and display models, and lightly loaded jigs and fixtures kept near room temperature.

Raise3D Hyper Speed PLA printed by fused deposition modeling is a polylactic acid filament grade formulated for fast extrusion, here in the conditioned state, held at controlled temperature and humidity before testing. As with other extruded PLA, parts are built from fused beads, so they are weaker across layers than along them and show layer lines, some internal voids and stair-stepping on sloped faces. PLA warps little in printing and needs removable supports only under overhangs. Parts serve as prototypes, fixtures, jigs and enclosures where quick turnaround matters more than heat resistance.

Raise3D Premium PLA is Raise3D's polylactic acid filament grade, printed by fused deposition modeling, in which the filament is melted and extruded through a nozzle in successive layers. Like other FDM PLA, parts are built from fused beads with small voids between them. Strength is therefore lower across layers than within them, and the surface shows layer lines that need sanding or coating where a smooth finish matters. PLA shrinks and warps little during printing, so it prints reliably on open-frame machines, though overhangs need removable supports. Printed parts are used for concept and form-fit prototypes, visual models, light-duty jigs and fixtures, and housings that stay at moderate temperatures. Every value on this page is read from Raise3D's own material data sheet — quoted, cited and dated — and is the maker's statement about printed material, not a measurement by MatWorld; none has yet been reviewed by a person.
Raise3D Premium PLA printed by fused deposition modeling is one maker's grade of polylactic acid filament, here in the conditioned state, with printed specimens held at a standard laboratory atmosphere before testing. Extrusion lays the polymer down as fused roads, leaving visible layer lines, small voids between roads and anisotropy, with strength across layers lower than along them. PLA warps little on cooling and prints readily without an enclosure, though overhangs need removable supports. Printed parts are used for prototypes, concept models, jigs, fixtures and lightly loaded parts kept away from heat.

Stratasys PLA is the maker's polylactic acid filament grade for fused deposition modeling, in which the filament is melted and extruded through a heated nozzle as stacked beads. Parts show layer lines and stair-stepping on sloped surfaces, and they are weaker across layers than within them because the bonds between beads are weaker than the beads. PLA prints with little warping, but overhangs need removable supports, and sanding or coating is used for a smooth finish. Because printed parts soften at modest temperatures, the grade serves mainly for concept models, fit-check prototypes and lightly loaded jigs and fixtures.

UltiMaker PLA is the maker's grade of polylactic acid filament for fused deposition modeling, where the thermoplastic is melted and extruded through a nozzle layer by layer. Printed parts have a layered structure with small voids between deposited roads, so they are weaker across layers than along them and show visible layer lines. The material warps little, prints readily without an enclosure and needs supports only under steep overhangs. Because it softens at modest temperatures, it is used mainly for concept models, form-and-fit prototypes and light-duty jigs and fixtures. Every value on this page is read from UltiMaker's own material data sheet — quoted, cited and dated — and is the maker's statement about printed material, not a measurement by MatWorld; none has yet been reviewed by a person.
UltiMaker Tough PLA is an impact-modified PLA filament printed by fused deposition modeling, made to be less brittle than standard PLA while printing as easily. As with other extruded PLA, parts consist of fused roads laid layer by layer, so they are strongest within the layer plane and weakest across layers, with small voids between roads and visible layer lines. Low shrinkage keeps warping small, and parts usually need only support removal and optional sanding. Printed parts serve as functional prototypes, jigs, fixtures and tooling that must tolerate handling and impact but not elevated temperatures.

Polycarbonate printed by fused deposition modeling is an amorphous engineering thermoplastic built from extruded filament, layer by layer. It needs high nozzle and bed temperatures and usually a heated, enclosed chamber, because the material shrinks on cooling and tends to warp, lift at corners and split between layers. Parts are anisotropic, with weaker bonds between layers than along the strands, and they show visible layer lines, small voids between strands and residual stress; overhangs need supports. The filament absorbs moisture and should be dried before printing. Printed PC is used for tough functional prototypes, jigs and fixtures, housings, brackets and durable end-use parts.
Bambu Lab Bambu PC is a polycarbonate filament grade printed by fused deposition modeling. Polycarbonate is extruded hot and shrinks on cooling, so prints build residual stress and tend to warp or split between layers unless made on a heated bed in an enclosed build space. The filament absorbs moisture and is dried before printing. Parts are anisotropic, weakest across layer interfaces, with visible layer lines and some porosity between roads, and they lack the clarity of molded polycarbonate. They are used for tough functional prototypes, enclosures, brackets, jigs and fixtures that need more impact and heat resistance than common filament plastics.

Bambu Lab Bambu PC is a polycarbonate filament grade for fused deposition modeling, here in the dry condition. PC needs a high nozzle temperature, a heated bed and ideally an enclosed chamber, because thermal shrinkage makes larger parts prone to warping and layer splitting. Printed parts are weaker across layer interfaces than along the extruded roads, and layer lines leave them translucent rather than clear. The filament absorbs moisture and is normally dried before printing to avoid bubbling and poor layer bonding. It is used for tough functional parts such as enclosures, brackets, jigs and fixtures, including ones exposed to moderate heat.

Prusament PC Blend from Prusa Research is a polycarbonate-based filament for fused deposition modeling, formulated as a blend so that it warps less and prints more readily than unmodified polycarbonate. Like other printed polycarbonate, it needs high nozzle and bed temperatures, an enclosed build space for larger parts, and dry filament, since absorbed moisture degrades extrusion and surface quality. Printed parts are anisotropic, with lower strength and toughness across layers than along them, and show visible layer lines on side walls. It is used for tough functional parts such as brackets, housings, jigs and fixtures, and components that must withstand higher temperatures than common printing plastics.

Raise3D Premium PC is a polycarbonate filament grade printed by fused deposition modeling, in which the amorphous polymer is extruded and built up layer by layer. Parts are anisotropic, weaker across layer interfaces than along the extruded roads, and the layer lines leave them translucent rather than optically clear. The high processing temperature and shrinkage of polycarbonate make it prone to warping and interlayer cracking, so it is printed from dried filament onto a heated bed, preferably in an enclosed chamber. Typical uses are functional prototypes, jigs, fixtures, housings and brackets that need more toughness and heat resistance than common filaments give.

Raise3D Premium PC is a polycarbonate filament grade printed by fused deposition modeling, in the conditioned state, with parts held in a standard atmosphere until their moisture content has equilibrated. Printing it needs a high nozzle temperature, a heated bed and preferably an enclosed chamber to limit warping and layer cracking, and the filament must be dried before use. Parts show layer lines, are translucent rather than clear, and are weaker across layers than along the deposited roads, with supports needed under overhangs. It is used for tough functional prototypes, jigs, fixtures, housings and brackets needing impact resistance and more heat resistance than common filaments.

Stratasys PC is a polycarbonate filament grade printed by fused deposition modeling on industrial material extrusion systems with a heated build chamber. Parts are built from fused extruded roads, so they show layer lines, are weaker across layers than along them, and are opaque or translucent rather than optically clear. The filament must be kept dry, and controlled high temperatures are needed to limit warping and residual stress. Overhangs need support material that is removed after printing. Printed parts are used for functional prototypes, jigs, fixtures and tooling, and for end-use parts that need toughness and heat resistance.

UltiMaker PC is UltiMaker's polycarbonate filament grade, printed by fused deposition modeling into tough, heat-resistant parts. It is extruded at high nozzle temperatures onto a heated bed, preferably in an enclosed chamber, because the material warps readily and its layers bond poorly if they cool too fast, and the filament absorbs moisture and must be dried before printing. Printed parts are anisotropic, weaker across layers than along them, and show visible layer lines; they are translucent rather than optically clear. It is used for functional prototypes, jigs, fixtures and enclosures that must withstand impact and elevated temperatures.

UltiMaker PC is a polycarbonate filament grade printed by fused deposition modeling, here in the conditioned state, equilibrated with ambient humidity rather than tested dry off the printer. Polycarbonate needs high nozzle and bed temperatures and an enclosed build space, because its shrinkage on cooling causes warping and residual stress, and the filament must be dried before printing. Printed parts are anisotropic and weakest across the layer interfaces, with visible layer lines and none of the optical clarity of molded PC. They are used as tough functional prototypes, jigs, fixtures, housings and parts exposed to moderate heat.

Polypropylene printed by fused deposition modeling is a semi-crystalline polyolefin thermoplastic extruded from filament and built up layer by layer. Its high crystallization shrinkage makes warping and corner lift common, so printing usually needs a heated bed, a surface it adheres to, and often an enclosed chamber. Parts are anisotropic, with weaker bonding between layers than along the deposited paths, visible layer lines, and marks where supports touch. Voids between beads depend on infill and settings. Printed parts serve as chemically resistant housings, fluid-handling fixtures, living hinges, lightweight jigs, and prototypes of molded parts.
UltiMaker PP is a polypropylene filament grade printed by fused deposition modeling, in which the semi-crystalline polymer is melted and extruded through a nozzle layer by layer. Polypropylene shrinks markedly as it cools and crystallizes, so printed parts are prone to warping and adhere poorly to most build surfaces, usually needing a polypropylene-compatible bed surface and a draft-free build. Parts show visible layer lines and are weaker and less tough across layers than along them. Printed parts are used for chemically resistant containers and fixtures, living hinges, snap fits and functional prototypes of parts later injection moulded in polypropylene.

Polypropylene printed by Multi Jet Fusion is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic processed as fine powder in a powder bed, where a jetted fusing agent and infrared energy melt each layer. Parts are dense but not fully isotropic, so strength and elongation differ between build directions, and the surface is matte and slightly grainy. No supports are needed because the powder bed holds the part, but depowdering is required, and large flat sections can warp on uneven cooling. Typical uses are functional prototypes and low-volume housings, ducts, clips and fluid-handling parts.
HP 3D High Reusability PP enabled by Forward AM is a polypropylene powder grade for Multi Jet Fusion, in which a fusing agent jetted onto the powder bed is fused with infrared energy. Parts need no supports because the unfused powder holds them, and they come out grey with a slightly grainy surface that is usually bead blasted and often dyed. Properties are fairly even across build directions, and much of the unfused powder can be reused in later builds. Printed parts are used where chemical resistance, low moisture uptake and low weight matter, such as fluid-handling components, ducts, tanks and automotive parts. Every value on this page is read from HP's own material data sheet — quoted, cited and dated — and is the maker's statement about printed material, not a measurement by MatWorld; none has yet been reviewed by a person.
Polypropylene printed by selective laser sintering is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic built from fine powder that a laser fuses layer by layer in a heated bed. Loose powder supports the part, so no support structures are needed and nested geometries are possible. Surfaces are matte and slightly grainy with some residual porosity, and shrinkage and warpage on cooling require tight bed temperature control and dimensional allowances. Strength is somewhat anisotropic, with layer bonding usually the weaker direction, and parts are cleaned of powder by blasting. Typical uses are functional prototypes, housings, ducts and fluid-handling parts needing chemical resistance.
BASF Forward AM Ultrasint PP nat 01 is a natural-coloured polypropylene powder for selective laser sintering, in which a laser fuses the powder layer by layer in a heated bed. The unfused powder supports the part, so no support structures are needed and parts can be nested throughout the build. Parts have a matte, grainy surface and some residual porosity, are usually depowdered and bead-blasted, and tend to be weaker along the build direction than in the layer plane. They are used for fluid-handling components, ducts, housings, snap-fit features and functional prototypes of moulded polypropylene parts, where chemical resistance, low moisture uptake and ductility matter.

Formlabs Polypropylene Powder printed by selective laser sintering is a polypropylene grade fused layer by layer in a heated powder bed, described here in the conditioned state, held at a standard laboratory atmosphere after printing. Unfused powder supports the parts during the build, so no support structures are needed. Parts come out with a grainy matte surface and some porosity, and they are weaker and less ductile across layers than within them. They are usually depowdered and bead blasted after the build. Printed parts are used for chemically resistant fluid-handling parts, ducts, containers, housings and snap-fit components.

PVA printed by fused deposition modeling is a water-soluble thermoplastic extruded from filament, used mainly as a sacrificial support material rather than for structural parts. It is usually run through a second nozzle alongside a structural thermoplastic, so supports can be printed in contact with complex geometry. It absorbs moisture readily, so filament must be kept dry to avoid bubbling, stringing and rough surfaces. After printing, the part is soaked in water and the PVA dissolves, leaving surfaces free of the marks left by mechanical support removal. It is used for supports under overhangs, inside internal cavities and in interlocking assemblies that cannot be cleaned out by hand.
Bambu Lab Bambu PVA is a polyvinyl alcohol filament grade for fused deposition modeling, used as a water-soluble support material printed alongside a build material on multi-material machines. PVA is strongly hygroscopic, so the filament must be kept dry to avoid stringing, bubbling and poor extrusion. After printing, the supports are dissolved by soaking the part in water, which leaves the contact surfaces free of the scars that breakaway supports leave. It supports overhangs, internal channels and enclosed cavities that breakaway supports cannot reach, and is typically paired with PLA and similar low-temperature filaments. Every value on this page is read from Bambu Lab's own material data sheet — quoted, cited and dated — and is the maker's statement about printed material, not a measurement by MatWorld; none has yet been reviewed by a person.
UltiMaker PVA is a water-soluble polyvinyl alcohol filament printed by fused deposition modeling as a support material, not as a material for finished parts. It is extruded from a second nozzle alongside a build material such as PLA and removed after printing by soaking the part in water, which leaves cleaner surfaces than breakaway supports. The filament is strongly hygroscopic and must be kept dry, since absorbed moisture causes stringing, bubbling and poor adhesion to the build material. It is used to support complex overhangs, enclosed cavities, internal channels and print-in-place assemblies from which conventional supports could not be removed.

Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Grade 23) printed by electron beam powder bed fusion is the extra-low-interstitial titanium alloy, melted from powder layer by layer in a vacuum. The powder bed is held hot throughout the build, so parts are largely stress-relieved as printed and residual stress is low compared with laser-based processes. The microstructure is typically fine alpha-beta lamellar, with prior-beta grains often growing columnar along the build direction. Surfaces are rough and the sintered powder cake must be removed; critical surfaces are machined, and hot isostatic pressing can close residual porosity. Typical parts are orthopedic implants, including lattice-structured ones, and lightweight aerospace brackets and structural components.
Colibrium Additive Ti6Al4V Grade 23 (Spectra L) is the maker's extra-low-interstitial Ti-6Al-4V grade for electron beam powder bed fusion, in the as-built condition. The heated powder bed and vacuum let the alloy cool slowly. This gives a fine lamellar alpha-beta structure in columnar prior-beta grains along the build direction instead of martensite, with low residual stress. As-built surfaces are rough, partially sintered powder is removed by blasting, and parts are often hot isostatically pressed to close residual porosity. Typical uses are orthopedic implants with porous lattice surfaces and aerospace components.

Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Grade 23) printed by laser powder bed fusion is the extra-low-interstitial titanium alloy melted layer by layer from fine powder. Rapid cooling gives a fine acicular martensitic alpha-prime microstructure with columnar prior-beta grains along the build direction, so properties can differ between build orientations. As-built parts carry high residual stress, need supports and have a rough surface, so they are stress relieved before removal from the plate, and hot isostatic pressing is often used to close porosity. Typical uses are aerospace brackets, patient-specific and lattice-structured orthopedic implants, and complex low-volume industrial parts.
3D Systems LaserForm Ti Gr23 (A) is a grade of Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Grade 23) powder made for laser powder bed fusion, in which a laser melts the titanium alloy powder layer by layer under inert gas. Rapid solidification gives a fine martensitic microstructure in columnar prior-beta grains along the build direction, so as-built parts are strong but less ductile and somewhat anisotropic. Parts need supports and carry high residual stress, so they are stress relieved before removal from the plate and are often hot isostatically pressed and machined to close porosity, improve fatigue life and remove the rough surface. Uses include aerospace brackets and lattice-structured orthopedic parts.

3D Systems LaserForm Ti Gr23 (A) is a Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Grade 23) powder grade for laser powder bed fusion, here in the as-built condition without heat treatment. Rapid melt-pool solidification gives fine acicular alpha-prime martensite in columnar prior-beta grains along the build direction, so as-built parts are strong but less ductile than wrought material and anisotropic. Parts carry high residual stress, need supports, and have rough side and downskin surfaces. They are usually stress relieved, often hot isostatically pressed, and machined before use in aerospace, medical and industrial components.

3D Systems LaserForm Ti Gr23 (A) is that maker's Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Grade 23) grade for laser powder bed fusion, here in the hot isostatically pressed condition. As printed, rapid cooling gives fine alpha-prime martensite in columnar prior-beta grains along the build direction, with residual stress, support structures and a rough surface. HIP closes internal porosity and decomposes the martensite into a coarser lamellar alpha-beta structure. This improves ductility and fatigue resistance and reduces anisotropy, though surfaces still need machining or finishing where fatigue matters. Typical parts are orthopedic implants, porous lattice structures and lightweight aerospace components.

3D Systems LaserForm Ti Gr23 (A) is a Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Grade 23) grade printed by laser powder bed fusion, here stress-relieved. As built, it forms columnar prior-beta grains along the build direction filled with fine alpha-prime martensite, giving high strength, low ductility, anisotropy and high residual stress. Stress relief, done before removal from the build plate, lowers residual stress and distortion and partly decomposes the martensite but leaves the columnar grains and any porosity. Parts still need support removal and machining or finishing, and hot isostatic pressing is often added for fatigue loading. Uses include orthopedic and dental implant components, lattice structures and aerospace brackets.

Colibrium Additive Ti6Al4V Grade 23 is the maker's extra-low-interstitial Ti-6Al-4V grade for laser powder bed fusion, here in the as-built condition. Rapid cooling of the melt pool gives fine acicular martensite within columnar prior-beta grains elongated along the build direction, so as-built parts are strong but of limited ductility and somewhat anisotropic. They also carry high residual stress, rough downskin surfaces and supports, and are normally stress relieved on the build plate, often followed by hot isostatic pressing and machining. Printed parts are used for aerospace components and for medical parts such as lattice-structured orthopedic implants.

Colibrium Additive Ti6Al4V Grade 23 is a low-interstitial Ti-6Al-4V grade printed by laser powder bed fusion, here in the stress-relieved condition. Rapid solidification gives a fine acicular martensitic structure within columnar prior-beta grains along the build direction, with high strength, limited ductility, some anisotropy and high residual stress. Stress relief, usually done on the build plate, lowers that stress and the distortion on removal while largely keeping the fine microstructure. Parts still need support removal and finishing of the rough surface, and are often hot isostatically pressed for fatigue-critical use in aerospace brackets and orthopedic implant components.

EOS Titanium Ti64ELI is a laser powder bed fusion grade of Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Grade 23). Rapid solidification gives a fine acicular martensite within columnar prior-beta grains along the build direction, so as-built parts are strong but less ductile and somewhat anisotropic. Parts carry high residual stress and are stress relieved before removal from the plate, and are often hot isostatically pressed to close porosity and improve fatigue life. Overhangs need supports, and the rough as-built surface is usually machined on fatigue-critical features. Typical parts are orthopedic and dental implants with lattice structures and lightweight aerospace components.

EOS Titanium Ti64ELI as-built is the Grade 23 extra-low-interstitial Ti-6Al-4V alloy in this maker's laser powder bed fusion grade, left without heat treatment after printing. Rapid cooling of the melt pool gives a fine acicular alpha-prime martensite within columnar prior-beta grains that grow along the build direction, so the material is strong but of limited ductility and somewhat anisotropic. Parts carry high residual stress and need supports. They are usually stress relieved, often hot isostatically pressed, and machined where the rough as-built surface matters. Printed parts are used for orthopedic implants with porous lattice structures and for lightweight aerospace brackets and housings.

EOS Titanium Ti64 Grade 23, heat-treated, is an extra-low-interstitial Ti-6Al-4V grade printed by laser powder bed fusion and then given a post-build heat treatment. As printed, it has columnar prior beta grains along the build direction, fine acicular martensite and high residual stress. Heat treatment relieves that stress and transforms the martensite into a fine alpha-beta structure with better ductility, but it does not close internal porosity, which needs hot isostatic pressing. Parts need support removal and usually machining of fatigue-critical surfaces. Typical uses are aerospace brackets, implant components with lattice structures and other complex titanium parts.

Nikon SLM Solutions Ti6Al4V ELI (Grade 23) is that maker's extra-low-interstitial Ti-6Al-4V grade, printed by laser powder bed fusion and annealed. As built, the alloy has columnar prior-beta grains along the build direction filled with fine acicular martensite, and high residual stress. Annealing relieves that stress and decomposes the martensite into a fine alpha-beta structure, improving ductility, but does not close porosity, so fatigue-critical parts are often also hot isostatically pressed. Parts need supports, and their rough surfaces are usually machined. It is used for aerospace brackets and orthopaedic and dental implant components, including porous lattices.

Nikon SLM Solutions Ti6Al4V ELI (Grade 23) is that maker's extra-low-interstitial Ti-6Al-4V grade, printed by laser powder bed fusion and then hot isostatically pressed. As built, rapid cooling gives fine acicular martensite in columnar prior-beta grains along the build direction, with residual stress and scattered porosity. HIP closes internal pores and coarsens the martensite into a lamellar alpha-beta structure, improving ductility and fatigue life at some cost in strength. It does not remove the rough surface or close surface-connected pores, so parts are usually machined after support removal. It is used for implant components, aerospace brackets and other fatigue-loaded titanium parts.
