I am looking for the best material to print inspection fixtures for our coordinate measuring machine (CMM). The parts that we will be measuring are small and the fixtures will need to bend slightly to clamp the part and hold it. The dimensional accuracy is only relatively important but the most important is the extended lifespan of the fixture through the bending. We have a Ultimaker 3 and are open to trying any materials. Thanks!
Please let me know if you have any questions about the application or requirements and I will answer them.

Thanks @geert_2, I will order a roll of PET and give it a try. Have you had any experience printing similar parts with Nylon? I have been reading that it is difficult to print but has great strength and ability to flex compared to other materials.
