Material
Taurus
Taurus offers the look and feel of an injection-molded part, with a charcoal black to blue-gray color depending on the finish. Its strong mechanical properties and high surface detailing and precision make it an ideal choice for functional prototypes and form-, fit-, and function-testing for the aerospace and automotive industries. Taurus' dark color offers high contrast, leading to better results for manual finishing.
