PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) is a 3D printing material that combines strength and toughness, offering the advantages of PLA’s ease of printing and ABS’s durability. It has excellent impact resistance and chemical stability, along with good transparency and a smooth surface finish. PETG has high-temperature resistance, making it ideal for producing functional parts, mechanical components, and durable prototypes. During printing, it experiences minimal shrinkage and warping, making it a reliable choice for home, education, and industrial applications.

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 tough resin material is designed for printing projects that require high durability and impact resistance. It offers excellent mechanical properties, capable of withstanding high pressure and severe impact, while maintaining precise printing details. Whether creating prototypes, functional parts, or industrial applications, the tough resin provides an ideal balance—finding the sweet spot between strength and flexibility.

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.

PC-Like Advanced High Temp is a high-temperature reinforced material with properties similar to polycarbonate, specifically designed for functional parts that require a combination of high strength, stiffness, and heat resistance. Post-curing can further increase the heat deflection temperature of the parts, enhancing their stability and reliability in high-temperature environments. It should be noted that post-curing may reduce some aspects of durability, so a balance between strength and toughness should be considered during design.

Flame-retardant resin is a high-performance material formulated with specialized additives to significantly reduce flammability and slow down flame propagation. While maintaining excellent mechanical strength and processability, it meets stringent fire safety standards. Ideal for electronics enclosures, aerospace components, transportation parts, and other applications requiring superior fire resistance, this resin enables precise 3D printing of complex geometries while ensuring reliable performance under high temperatures and flame exposure.

The high-temperature reinforced ceramic white combines exceptional heat resistance with outstanding strength and stiffness, making it an ideal choice for functional parts and high-performance prototypes. Post-curing further enhances its mechanical properties and thermal stability, providing reliable performance for complex geometries. Whether for aerospace, precision molds, electronic insulators, or laboratory equipment, this ceramic material meets the highest standards under demanding conditions, delivering solid support for innovative designs and high-performance manufacturing.

PA+GF is a polyamide powder material reinforced with glass beads, which significantly improves stiffness and dimensional stability. Compared with unfilled polyamide, this material offers higher heat resistance and demonstrates excellent long-term wear performance. However, due to the addition of glass, its impact strength and tensile strength are relatively lower than those of other nylons.

Nylon is a high-performance engineering polymer with well-balanced properties. It offers high strength, excellent toughness, and outstanding wear resistance, along with superior chemical resistance and thermal stability, ensuring reliable performance even under demanding conditions. Thanks to its lightweight and high reliability, nylon materials are widely used in automotive, medical, aerospace, and consumer products, making them an ideal choice for applications requiring both functionality and durability.

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.
