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.

Filaments

Best for functional parts, prototypes, hobby prints, and everyday use.

PLA

The simplest low-cost option for clean-looking parts that do not need much heat or impact resistance.

Many colorsRigidBiodegradable

Best for: Concept models, fit checks, display parts

ABS

A tougher engineering plastic for hard-use indoor parts that need better impact and heat resistance than PLA.

StrongImpact-resistantEngineering use

Best for: Tooling, enclosures, mechanical housings

ASA

An outdoor-ready alternative to ABS that handles sunlight and weather far better over time.

DurableOutdoorUV resistant

Best for: Outdoor brackets, housings, fixtures, covers

Nylon-CF

A premium structural material for parts that need high stiffness, heat resistance, and low deflection under load.

StrongHeat-resistantIndustrial

Best for: Jigs, fixtures, load-bearing parts

Resins

Best for high-detail, smooth surface prints and visual prototypes.

Clear Resin

A high-detail resin for smooth transparent parts where appearance and light transmission matter most.

High detailTransparentSmooth

Best for: Display pieces, light guides, clear cosmetic parts

ABS-like Resin

A detail-first resin for small precise parts with sharp edges and a smooth surface finish.

High-detailRigidPrecise

Best for: Miniatures, small housings, presentation prototypes
