Advantage of FDM technology is possibility to choose from huge spectrum of materials. We proudly present best materials for 3D printing that we use most. Each one has its own advantages and disadvantages, has different properties and application. Chart below will help you choose optimal material for your requirements. It is designed to show each material features in simplest and clear way.
intensive colours glossy prints ecologic (produced on the basis of maize meal by which is faster biodegradable) more fragile (less durable than ABS) approved for contact with food by FDA
Examples of application in industry
dental implants, disposable packaging and dishes, cheap and fast prototypes
Durable and low shrink material used mostly for printing large-size
Additional features
resistant to salts, acids, alkaline solutions and solvents more durable than PLA and ABS very good adhesion between the layers approved for contact with food (FDA)
Examples of application in industry
packaging for food and beverages, fibers production, vessels, casings, components
Ulepszony technologicznie i bardziej wytrzymały ABS
Additional features
suitable for printing a variety of models ideal for creating prototypes which should be related to the products manufactured in the technology of injection molds.
Examples of application in industry
functional prototypes, components requiring durability and resistance to time
The most flexible materials in our offer. Their hardness starts from 85A Shore. Perfect for all kinds of prototypes of rubber, gaskets, toys, covers and handles.
Additional features
very low shrinkage rate flexibility similar to rubber
Examples of application in industry
flexible casings for mobile phones, elements imitating rubber, seals, toys
Very popular in industry, durable and elastic. Most common for SLS 3D printers.
Additional features
nice end quality thin objects are very elastic thick objects are very durable and chemical resistant (much more than ABS) durability comparable to aluminium hard to print
Examples of application in industry
molds, clothes, light and strong gears, fishing lines, drone parts
PC
Description
Long lasting and transparent material comparable to aluminium due to its durability. Very resistant to impacts and breaks.
Additional features
high temperatures resistant high shrinkage very good layer adhesion hard to print
Examples of application in industry
optical media (ex. CD dics), covers, police shields, glass replacements
Materiał oferuje unikalne właściwości ochrony elektrostatycznej, dając możliwość przetestowania prototypów w zupełnie nowym środowisku.
Additional features
odporny na wysokie temperatury bardzo mały skurcz odporny na sole, kwasy i zasady
Examples of application in industry
stacje do montażu układów elektronicznych, prototypy wymagające odporności na wyładowania elektrostatyczne, obudowy urządzeń elektronicznych, elementy narzędzi, przyrządów i złączy, prototypy wymagające odporności na sole, kwasy i zasady
Typically (when client hasn’t chosen colour on his own) we make models in white, ivory, grey or black. We can offer basic colour pallette and we can also paint models on special RAL value based hue.
We gladly test new materials for customer needs. For special request we can offer dissolvable support materials (made of PVA or HIPS) for better surface quality of a model and services such as chemical smoothing, sanding, drilling, glueing, filling, covering with epoxy resin etc.
SLS
We realise SLS prints fromo PA12 (PA2200) polyamide powder available in white colour.
