Platable, temperature stable, printable plastic

Mark W. Ingalls · Mar 31, 2014

Howdy-

I have several potential applications for a process that would give me:

A thermal coefficient of expansion about like aluminum (24 ppm/C).
A working temp. range of -55 to +125 C
Machineable, threadable
Directly electrolessly platable, that is, no painting or coating. (Etching would be OK)
As low a density as possible; target 1-1/2 g/cm^3

Any suggestions?

ABS is what 90 percent of the budget printers use. Thermally stable (youll have to compare CoTE numbers) and us one of the few plastics that is platable.
