Available materials
PLA
PLA is a corn-based plastic and is considered biodegradable under industrial processes.
Tough PLA
Tough PLA is a material that is great for mid-stage prototypes because of its ease of use and office-friendliness.
PETG
PETG’s chemical resistance makes it a choice material for liquid containers and bottles, which also makes it great for prototyping those types of products.
ABS
ABS is one of the most popular materials for injection molded consumer products due to its clean surface finish, durability, and heat resistance.
ABS-R
ABS, finally as easy as PLA. With our proprietary RapidRinse™ support achieve incomparable ABS parts with unprecedented ease.
ASA
ASA combines the qualities of ABS with the added benefit of UV resistance and additional moisture resistance.
Nylon
Nylon’s ability to withstand high temperatures and it’s durability combine to give it above average abrasion resistance.
PC ABS
PC-ABS is a strong, engineering-grade material that has both a high heat resistance and high impact resistance.
PC ABS FR
PC-ABS FR is flame retardant, with a rating of UL-94 V0. Specifically for a material to be classified as V0
N12 CF
Carbon fiber reinforced nylon optimized for high strength to weight ratio, stiffness, and heat resistance
ABS CF
Combine the performance of carbon fiber with the reliability of ABS using the new ABS-CF .
