Annealing (post crystalizing) 3D Printed PPS Parts: Parts printed with PPS must be annealed after printing to ramp-up the crystallinity in the resin. This will maximize mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistance properties. Full annealing generally requires 2-4 hours of heating at 130°C. The following process for annealing your ThermaX™ PPS parts will help assure ideal performance.

• Step 1: Place printed parts in cool, room-temp oven. Supports may be left on the part if there is a risk of warping.
• Step 2. Set temp to 80°C and allow to stabilize for 1 hour.
• Step 3: Raise oven temperature to 130°C, and allow to stabilize 2-3 hours, longer depending upon the size/thickness of the part.
• Step 4: Turn off oven heat and allow the printed part to cool to room temperature.
