MATERIALS & TECHNOLOGY

The right material for the job.

Material properties matter. We help match the design and printing process to the part’s intended environment and use.

FILAMENT OPTIONS

A material for nearly every direction.

Availability, colors, strength and temperature ratings vary by specific manufacturer and print orientation.

General purpose

PLA

General prototypes, models and indoor fixtures. Easy to print and suitable for quick iterations.

Versatile & durable

PETG

Tough, versatile material for many brackets, containers and everyday functional components.

Flexible

TPU

Flexible parts, protective sleeves and vibration-dampening components.

Engineering plastic

ABS

Engineering plastic for select functional applications; print geometry and ventilation considerations apply.

Outdoor-focused

ASA

An option for components exposed to sunlight and outdoor conditions.

Specialty

Polycarbonate

For selected projects requiring higher heat resistance or performance, subject to geometry and print constraints.

Specialty

CF-reinforced blends

Stiffness-focused specialty compounds; suitability depends on use and fiber-filled formulation.
