Explore and compare 3D printing materials to find the best fit for your project. From durable plastics to flexible resins, our guide highlights key properties like strength, flexibility, and surface finish, helping you choose the right material for prototyping, production, or custom parts.
PA+GF
Process: SLS or MJF
Temperature Resistance, Durability, Dimensional Stability
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.
PA-Like
Process: SLS or MJF
Durability, Temperature Resistant
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.
Stainless Steel 316L
Process: SLM
Durability, Corrosion Resistance, Strength
Stainless steel 316L offers excellent corrosion resistance and high-temperature performance. It combines good mechanical strength and toughness, making it a reliable material for manufacturing acid- and corrosion-resistant components. Thanks to its outstanding corrosion resistance and its suitability as a medical- and food-grade material, it is widely used in aerospace, prototypes, tooling, and medical applications. Finished parts are typically shot-peened for surface treatment. If you require any other post-processing, please inform our customer service clearly.
Disadvantages: Poor heat resistance (maximum 120°C); surface roughness around Ra10, with slight pits and visible layer texture.
