Materials for 3D Printing
We select material based on application, not by catalog name.
PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, PA, TPU, PC and carbon composites have different strength, flexibility, temperature resistance and appearance. We help choose the material that makes sense for your specific part.
Our selection criteria
- Thermal load and operating environment.
- Mechanical strength, flexibility and impact resistance.
- Required surface finish, color and precision.
- Quantity and production economics.
Typical Materials
- PLA and PETG for common prototypes and less stressed parts.
- ABS and ASA for technical parts and better temperature resistance.
- PA, PC and CF composites for higher strength and demanding applications.
- TPU for flexible parts, damping and protective elements.
Frequently asked questions
Is it enough to say what the part will be used for?
Yes. The part's application is often the best starting point. Based on that, we recommend material and technology.
