Choose the right material for the job.
PLA
Easy to print, accurate and ideal for prototypes, models, visual parts and general-purpose applications.
Best for:
- Prototypes
- Models
- Fit checking
- General-purpose parts
PETG
A tougher, more impact-resistant option for functional parts that need good everyday durability.
Best for:
- Functional parts
- Brackets and mounts
- Enclosures
- Custom components
ASA
Designed for parts exposed to outdoor conditions, UV light and higher temperatures than standard PLA.
Best for:
- Outdoor applications
- Automotive components
- Covers and enclosures
- Parts exposed to sunlight
Engineering Material
For more demanding applications where standard materials aren't enough, specialist engineering materials may be available depending on the requirements of the part. These can offer increased strength, stiffness, temperature resistance or durability.
Best for:
- Mechanical components
- High-stress applications
- Higher-temperature environments
- Specialist requirements
