We print with:

We work with a broad range of engineering grade polymers, from user-friendly materials to high-performance composites designed for extreme applications.

To simplify material choice, we group them into three main categories based on their structure and reinforcement:

    • PLAPolylactic Acid

      Cheap but extremely limited in heat and mechanical resistance. Best for non functional prototypes.

    • PET-G –Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol

      Tough and chemically resistant, offers greater flexibility and durability than PLA, ideal for functional parts.

    • ASA Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate

      UV stable alternative to ABS, excellent for outdoor applications.

    • PC –Polycarbonate

      A strong, heat-resistant polymer with excellent impact strength and ideal for demanding mechanical parts.

    • ABSAcrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene

      Offers good mechanical strength and heat resistance. Ideal for functional prototypes.

    • PLA-CF – Carbon Fibre Reinforced PLA
      Stronger and more rigid than regular PLA.Ideal for visual prototypes or components that look clean and professional.

    • PETG-CF – Carbon Fibre Reinforced PETG
      More durable and stable than standard PETG, great for parts that need to resist wear, impact, and everyday use.

    • ASA-CF – Carbon Fibre Reinforced ASA
      Combines mechanical strength with UV and weather resistance, making it perfect for anything exposed to sun or rough environments.

    • PC–FR – Flame Resistant PC
