3D Printing Materials for
Prototyping and Product Design
(PLA)
Polylactic Acid
A dimensionally accurate rigid material, perfect for prototyping concept models, and producing light duty parts and products (For enhanced visualization on prototypes, inquire about multicolored prints).
(CF-PLA)
Carbon Fiber Polylactic Acid
This PLA is made using High-Modulus Carbon Fiber (20% carbon fiber by weight). This material is ideal for anyone that desires a structural component with a high modulus, excellent surface quality, and light weight. Used for prototyping, concept models, and end-use printed parts.
(PETG)
Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol
A glycol modified variant of the common PET. This polyester thermoplastic is commonly used to manufacture products in contact with foods. Has enhanced properties over PLA including UV and chemical resistance with an added bonus of being FDA approved. (For enhanced visualization on prototypes, inquire about multicolored prints).
(PCTG)
by Essentium
Good choice for printing industrial applications such as handheld tools, gauges, location fixtures, and check sockets for prosthetics. Strong and impact resistant for lightly loaded fixtures and jigs.
(Eco-ABS)
by Dremel
A dimensionally accurate rigid material, perfect for prototyping concept models, and producing light duty parts and products. ECO-ABS is a hybrid offering the low shrinkage and printability of PLA with more similar mechanical properties to ABS.
(ABS)
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene
A common industry used thermoplastic with improved thermal and mechanical properties, as well as chemical resistance. ABS also exhibits great creep resistances and serves well in applications with cyclic stresses and high impact.

(ASA)
Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate
ASA is structurally similar to ABS, but boasts increased UV stability and resistance to thermal shock. It also exhibits mechanical properties that match or exceeds those of ABS
(TPU)
Thermoplastic Polyurethane
Suitable printing industrial applications such as seals, gaskets, masks, cushioning, damping, handles, and grips. This material enables you to make anything that requires some bend and flex while maintaining strength.
