MATERIALS FOR YOUR APPLICATION
Explore our printing materials, from everyday prototypes to high-performance engineering applications.
From display models to demanding industrial components, we help match the material to the job. The options below are available for project review, including PEEK. Exact grades, colors, lead times, and pricing are confirmed with your quote.
Consider it for: Crisp visual prototypes, display models, and economical design iterations.
A useful starting point when appearance and stiffness matter more than heat resistance. Pro formulations vary; confirm impact and heat requirements for the selected brand.

Consider it for: Durable everyday brackets, holders, and functional housings.
Balances toughness with practical printing. Sustained loads and elevated temperatures can cause creep; water exposure does not automatically establish aquarium or food-contact suitability.

Consider it for: Stiff engineering fixtures and thermally demanding components.
A high-performance polyamide family worth considering when basic nylon is insufficient. Grade, reinforcement, moisture conditioning, and heat exposure determine suitability.

Consider it for: Rigid fixtures, lightweight brackets, and dimensionally stable components.
Fiber-filled grades can increase stiffness and reduce thermal movement. They are not automatically stronger in every direction; the base polymer and layer orientation remain critical.

Consider it for: Stiff functional parts and engineering tooling.
Reinforcement changes stiffness, shrinkage, and weight. We select the base polymer and grade around load, temperature, and finish requirements.

Consider it for: Demanding industrial components exposed to heat, wear, or chemicals.
A premium high-performance polymer for applications that justify its material and processing cost. Finished-part properties depend on processing, crystallinity, orientation, and qualification.

Consider it for: High-performance tooling and specialized engineering parts.
A member of the PAEK family offering a different processing and crystallization profile from PEEK. Grade selection and thermal history are central to the result.

Consider it for: High-temperature fixtures, housings, and electrical applications.
Combines thermal capability with useful stiffness and electrical properties. ULTEM identifies specific branded PEI grades; flame or aerospace compliance requires evidence for the actual material and process.

Consider it for: Chemical-service components and dimensionally demanding industrial parts.
Consider it for heat and chemical resistance. Impact loading, reinforcement, and processing conditions must be matched to the application.

Consider it for: Tough engineering housings and applications involving hot-water exposure.
Known for toughness and hydrolytic resistance. Sterilization or medical suitability requires validation of the exact grade and finished part.

Consider it for: Miniatures, presentation models, and intricate prototypes.
Fine features and smooth surfaces make resin valuable for visual detail. Standard formulations may be brittle; cleaning and post-curing affect properties.

Consider it for: Snap-fit prototypes, enclosures, jigs, and fixtures.
Formulations target particular combinations of stiffness, impact resistance, or ductility. “ABS-like” describes material behavior; it does not mean the resin has the same chemistry as ABS.

Consider it for: Soft-touch prototypes, grips, and compliant geometry.
Useful for detailed flexible parts. Tear strength, rebound, and aging vary by formulation and post-curing process.

Consider it for: Tooling, casting patterns, and specialized prototypes.
Select a purpose-made formulation for heat, casting, clarity, or other needs. A heat-deflection rating is not a continuous-use temperature; certified applications require documented materials and workflows.
Ask about this material →Send your operating temperature, load, chemical exposure, sunlight or water exposure, target dimensions, quantity, and finish requirements. Printed parts can behave differently across layer directions. Material datasheets guide selection; they do not certify a finished part.
Food contact, drinking water, aquarium use, electrical safety, medical use, and regulated applications require review of the exact material and process.
