a, Young’s modulus as a function of print orientation for LCP, PLA and PEEK. b, Tensile strength of LCP, annealed LCP, PLA and PEEK. The strength of LCP samples is comparable to that of one of the strongest printable polymers (PEEK) at high orientation angles, and to our knowledge surpasses all other tested materials for print orientations below 20°. Error bars indicate the standard deviation for 5–10 measurements at each data point; see Source Data for details.
