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:
-
PLA – Polylactic 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.
ABS – Acrylonitrile 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
High-strength and impact-resistant material. Complies with UL 94-2023 V-0 flame retardancy standard, making it ideal for applications requiring strict fire safety.
ABS-GF – Glass Fibre Reinforced ABS
Tougher and more heat-resistant than normal ABS, with improved stiffness. Ideal for functional prototypes and enclosures.
-
PA6-GF – Glass Fibre Reinforced Nylon 6
A strong, heat-resistant material. Ideal for structural parts in mechanical or industrial applications.
Max service temperature: 182 °CPA6-CF – Carbon Fibre Reinforced Nylon 6
Lightweight yet robust, perfect for automotive mechanical components and tooling.
Max service temperature: 186 °CPAHT-CF – Carbon Fibre Reinforced High-Temperature Nylon
Handles higher temperatures and absorbs less moisture than standard Nylon. ideal for demanding environments with thermal or chemical exposure.
Max service temperature: 194 °CPET-CF – Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polyethylene Terephthalate
Excellent dimensional stability and thermal resistance. Great for precision parts that need to hold their shape under stress.
Max service temperature: 204 °C
-
PEI 1010 & 9085 – Polyetherimide
High-performance thermoplastic with excellent thermal stability, strength, and inherent flame retardancy. Suitable for aerospace, electrical, and high-temperature structural applications.
Max service temperature: ~170–180 °CPEEK – Polyether Ether Ketone
Exceptional mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and thermal stability. Ideal for extreme environments including aerospace, motorsport, and industrial applications.
Max service temperature: ~250–260 °CPEKK – Polyether Ketone Ketone
Similar to PEEK with improved printability and layer adhesion. Offers high strength and thermal resistance for demanding structural components.
Max service temperature: ~240–260 °CPPS – Polyphenylene Sulfide
Excellent chemical resistance and dimensional stability with low moisture absorption. Well suited for harsh chemical and thermal environments.
Max service temperature: ~200–220 °CPPA – Polyphthalamide
High-performance semi-aromatic polyamide with excellent strength, stiffness, and thermal resistance. Lower moisture absorption than standard nylons, making it suitable for precision and structural components in demanding environments.
Max service temperature: ~180–220 °CTPI – Thermoplastic Polyimide
Ultra-high-performance polymer with outstanding thermal resistance and mechanical integrity at extreme temperatures. Used in aerospace and advanced engineering applications.
Max service temperature: ~260–300 °C
