Materials for FDM*
PLA - Polylactic Acid
General purpose
Plant-based
Biodegradable
Lowest cost
Relatively low mechanical strength, but sufficient for simple applications
12 colors available. If none of these are suitable for you, please reach out to us and we’ll source the material you need.
Materials for SLA*
Standard Resin
High precision (minimum layer height 0.025mm)
Smooth, matte surface finish
Lowest cost for SLA
Low mechanical strength
Not suitable for end-use parts, visual models only
4 colors available: black, white, grey, and clear. If none of these are suitable to you, please reach out to us and we’ll source the materials you need.
Durable Resin
Moderate precision (minimum layer height 0.05mm)
Smooth and glossy surface finish, slightly transparent
Low cost
High strength and durability, low friction
Ideal for interlocking parts, snaps, and hinges.
1 color available: white
Grey Pro Resin
Moderate precision (minimum layer height 0.05mm)
Smooth and matte surface finish, opaque
Moderately priced
Stronger and more abrasion resistant than standard resins.
Suitable for functional prototypes
1 color available: grey
Tough Resin
Moderate precision (minimum layer height 0.05mm)
Smooth surface finish, slightly transparent
Moderately priced
High impact strength
Ideal for prototypes undergoing moderate stress and strain
1 color available: blue-green
Flexible Resin
Low precision (minimum layer height 0.05mm but cannot print fine features)
Rubbery texture, flexible but not stretchy. Similar to tire rubber
Higher cost
Ideal for grips, overmolds, and wearable products
1 color available: matte black
Elastic Resin
Low precision (minimum layer height 0.1mm)
Gummy texture, flexible and very stretchy. Similar to surgical rubber or rubber bands
Higher cost
Ideal for parts that undergo significant deformation and must return to their original shape
1 color available: transparent white
High Temp Resin
High precision (minimum layer height 0.025mm)
Surface finish similar to frosted glass
Higher cost
Hard and glassy, very brittle
Can withstand temperatures up to 260℃ (500℉), can survive reflow and selective soldering applications
1 color available: matte yellow, slightly transparent
Rigid Resin
High precision (minimum layer height 0.05mm but good for thin features)
Surface finish similar to ceramic
Higher cost
Hard and rigid, resists deformation
Ideal for parts with thin walls like cases
1 color available: matte yellow, slightly transparent
