Filaments
Concept models, fit checks, display parts
Consider
PLA
The simplest low-cost option for clean-looking parts that do not need much heat or impact resistance.
Materials
Choose the right material for your print.
Compare common 3D printing materials by how they actually behave: strength, heat, flexibility, finish, and where they make sense.
Quick decision guide
Choose by the job your part needs to do
Start with the closest use case, then review the material details before requesting a quote. Each option below reflects the same material catalog used by our quote tool.
- Filaments
Tooling, enclosures, mechanical housings
Consider
ABS
A tougher engineering plastic for hard-use indoor parts that need better impact and heat resistance than PLA.
- Filaments
Outdoor brackets, housings, fixtures, covers
Consider
ASA
An outdoor-ready alternative to ABS that handles sunlight and weather far better over time.
- Filaments
Jigs, fixtures, load-bearing parts
Consider
Nylon-CF
A premium structural material for parts that need high stiffness, heat resistance, and low deflection under load.
- Resins
Display pieces, light guides, clear cosmetic parts
Consider
Clear Resin
A high-detail resin for smooth transparent parts where appearance and light transmission matter most.
- Resins
Miniatures, small housings, presentation prototypes
Consider
ABS-like Resin
A detail-first resin for small precise parts with sharp edges and a smooth surface finish.
