  • PETG 3D printing plastic material for additive manufacturing — durable, transparent, and high-strength filament for prototyping and functional 3D printed components.

    PETG

    Process: FDM

    Durability, Strength

    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.

  • Black PLA 3D printing plastic material for additive manufacturing — high-quality filament for prototyping and functional 3D printed components.

    PLA

    Process: FDM

    Durability, Biodegradable, RichColors, Economical

    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.

  • 17-4PH stainless steel 3D printing metal material for additive manufacturing — high-strength, corrosion-resistant metal for precision 3D printed components.

    Stainless Steel 17-4PH

    Process: SLM

    Corrosion Resistance, HighStrength, Wear Resistant

    17-4 PH stainless steel is a precipitation-hardening stainless steel known for its excellent hardness and corrosion resistance. Through vacuum solution heat treatment and H900 aging treatment, printed parts can achieve high strength, high hardness, and good wear resistance. 17-4 PH stainless steel is suitable for manufacturing industrial components that require high strength, corrosion resistance, and complex structures, such as aerospace parts, molds, and high-load machinery.
    Disadvantages: Low elongation (≤16% after heat treatment); weak magnetism after heat treatment.

  • SS316L stainless steel 3D printing metal material for additive manufacturing — corrosion-resistant, high-strength metal for precision 3D printed components.

    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.
