Choosing material for 3D printing

Material defines part performance

Not every material fits every use. We consider temperature, load, flexibility, surface finish, and cost.

If you are unsure, describe the working conditions. We will recommend a technical or economical option.

Before production starts, we clarify operating conditions, choose a realistic manufacturing path, and align expected results for lead time, accuracy, and budget. This reduces unnecessary iterations and helps deliver a part that is ready for practical use right after delivery.

Common materials

• PLA / PETG
• ABS / ASA / Nylon
• TPU
• SLA resin

PLA / PETG

For prototypes, enclosures, organizers, and most standard applications.

• Use: Prototypes and enclosures
• Note: Good price and speed balance

ABS / ASA / Nylon

For parts exposed to heat, mechanical loads, and demanding workshop use.

• Use: Functional parts
• Note: Higher mechanical resistance

TPU

Seals, dampers, covers, and parts that require elasticity.

• Use: Flexible covers
• Note: Built for bending

SLA resin

Display models, miniatures, and small parts with high surface detail.

• Use: Small precise details
• Note: Best surface finish
