  • Red wax 3D printing material for additive manufacturing — high-precision plastic material used for prototyping and 3D printed models.

    Red wax

    Process: DLP

    High Precision, Smooth Surface

    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.

  • 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.
