Heat resistant 3D printing material

My 3D prints need to withstand temperatures up to 150 degrees. What material should I choose?

Solved by Nikolaus Mroncz
Here, the choice mostly depends on the type of material your part need to be built with (metal or plastic). For plastic parts, I would recommend the following materials:
  • ULTEM 9085 and ULTEM 1010 for FDM
  • PA 12 for SLS or MJF
  • PC–Like Heat-Resistant after thermal post-curing for SLA
  • CE 221 (Cyanate Ester) for Carbon DLS
For metal parts, these a heat-resistant materials I would recommend for DMLS:
  • Aluminium AlSi10Mg
  • Stainless steel 316L
  • Inconel 718
