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.

  • ABS plastic 3D printing material for durable, high-strength, and precise 3D printed parts

    ABS-Like

    Process: FDM or SLA

    Moisture Resistance, 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.

  • Inconel 718 metal powder for 3D printing

    Inconel 718

    Process: SLM

    Fatigue Resistant, Temperature Resistance, Corrosion Resistance, Strength

    Inconel 718 is known for its outstanding high-temperature strength, creep resistance, and corrosion resistance. The material can withstand operating temperatures above 700°C while maintaining excellent fatigue and fracture resistance. Through additive manufacturing, GH4169 can produce parts with complex geometries and is widely used in aerospace engines, gas turbines, high-temperature molds, and high-performance industrial components.
    Disadvantages: High cost; complex heat treatment process; thin-walled structures require careful design; default surface roughness Ra10–12.

  • 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.
