Compare 3D Printing Materials

Wax materials are a special type of material commonly used in 3D printing, primarily applied in rapid prototyping and precision casting. They offer excellent flowability and moldability, allowing for high-precision detail during the printing process. Red wax, in particular, has a vivid color, usually deep red, hence the name “red wax.” One of its key features is its ability to melt quickly when heated, facilitating subsequent casting processes, making it especially suitable for jewelry, art sculptures, and the manufacture of complex mechanical parts.

In addition, red wax materials have moderate hardness and a smooth surface, requiring minimal post-processing after printing, which helps maintain the accuracy and surface quality of the print. Because it can be melted at high temperatures, it is also commonly used in the “lost wax casting” process, playing a crucial role in precision casting.

PLA is a high-quality, high-performance, and cost-effective 3D printing material, offering excellent layer adhesion and impact resistance, resulting in durable and long-lasting prints. The base series comes in up to 30 colors, ensuring uniform color consistency and stable printing quality. PLA is made from renewable plant-based resources, eco-friendly, non-toxic, and biodegradable. It is reliable, easy to use, and provides high cost-performance with a wide range of colors, making it an ideal choice for home, education, and industrial printing.

3D printing antistatic resin materials are typically achieved by incorporating conductive fillers or ion-type additives into the resin, effectively reducing the material’s surface resistivity. These materials are specifically designed for applications in electronic devices, precision instruments, and other areas where static interference must be prevented. The material effectively suppresses static accumulation, ensuring that printed parts remain free from charge interference during use, while maintaining excellent mechanical properties and precise printing details. Whether for manufacturing sensitive components or performing high-precision assemblies, antistatic resin is the ideal choice.

PC-like translucent material combines excellent translucency with high stiffness, making it an ideal choice for precision components. Through customized post-processing, functional light-transmitting effects can be achieved, delivering both aesthetic appeal and performance. With high tensile strength and modulus, this material is especially suited for creating functional prototypes that emulate injection-molded polycarbonate, meeting the dual demands of mechanical performance and visual quality for engineering prototypes and small-batch production.

ABS-like material is a durable and versatile prototyping material suitable for producing both functional and aesthetic parts. Its front surface is smooth, while the side walls and bottom have a matte finish, giving parts an appearance similar to injection-molded components. The material offers good dimensional stability, moisture resistance, and is easy to post-process, making it ideal for rapid prototyping and functional testing.It is usually available in black and white.
