3D printing materials

The right material for the job

Most prints use PLA. PETG, TPU, and ASA are available on request as a Custom print for parts that need them.

PLA

Display pieces & models

The go-to for most prints. Crisp detail, lots of colors, and affordable. Best for display pieces, models, and indoor use.

Functional parts

Tougher and more heat- and moisture-resistant than PLA. A good fit for functional parts, brackets, and containers.

Flexible parts

Flexible and rubber-like. Used for gaskets, bumpers, phone cases, and grips.

Outdoor use

UV- and weather-resistant for parts that live outdoors through summers and winters.
