Ultem 9085/Ultem 9085CG

Why Ultem 9085? 

  • Strong, lightweight, and flame-retardant 
  • Superior mechanical performance and strength-to-weight ratio 
  • Good chemical resistance 

Certifications 

  • Passes heat release, flame, smoke, and toxicity tests (UL 94 V-0, FAR 25.853) 
  • Available in an Airbus-certified grade (Ultem 9085CG), according to AIPI 03-02-029 
  • Available in an Airbus cabin interior finish according to AIPI 05-02-006 

Quick facts 

  • Produced with fused deposition modeling (FDM) technology 
  • FDM requires support structures while printing, meaning unfinished parts typically have a rough surface texture 
  • Available finishes include smoothing, painting, and coating 
  • Maximum part dimensions: 914 x 610 x 914 mm 
Four 3D-printed spare parts made of flame-retardant polyamide are shown: one is black and three are white. All four parts are commonly seen in aircraft cabin interiors. These parts are manufactured for 328 Support Services.
A series of 3D-printed repair kits with EASA 21.J quality labels. The kit contains small white plastic parts made of flame-retardant polyamide, designed by Expleo. These parts are used to replace commonly broken latches on Boeing 737 dado panels.
