Materials
We focus on a small set of proven materials that cover the majority of functional applications. View all materials and specifications →
PLA
Cost-effective prototyping material. Stiff, dimensionally accurate, wide colour range. Ideal for concept models, visual prototypes, jigs, and light-duty fixtures.
PETG
Durable functional parts. Good chemical and UV resistance with slight flexibility. Bridges the gap between PLA and engineering plastics. Ideal for enclosures, brackets, and outdoor parts.
TPU
Flexible and impact-resistant. Rubber-like feel with excellent abrasion resistance. Ideal for seals, grips, vibration dampeners, and protective covers.
Nylon PA12
Engineering-grade strength. High impact resistance, self-lubricating, and thermally stable. Ideal for gears, bearings, structural parts, and demanding mechanical applications.
PAHT-CF (Carbon Fibre Reinforced Nylon)
Maximum stiffness and strength-to-weight ratio. Ideal for structural brackets, jigs, tooling, and high-load mechanical parts where weight matters.
