Endur Polypropylene Simulant Announced By Stratasys

Endur was announced a few hours ago by Stratasys. The material was created to act as a simulator of Polypropylene for prototyping. Endur comes in a bright white color, and is confined to one printer cartridge. The early tests of the material seem to be quite impressive.

Endur will have many uses within the industry and works with most of the large scale Stratasys printers, including their flagship Objet 500 Connex 3 3D Printer. Here is a picture of a Camera lens prototype printed with the Endur material:

I've never heard of Endur Polypropylene before. I imagine that a lot of patents will start being filed for printing in different materials. Is this printed using SLS or SLA?

The Objet line is like an SLA/inkjet hybrid sort of thing. They call it "polyjet". It sprays down the resin for a layer, then cures it. It allows them to do some really neat stuff with colour blending and even mixing materials together.
