PC-Like Translucent
Process: SLA
Transparency, Stiffness
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 Temp
Process: SLA
Temperature Resistance, Strength, Stiffness
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
Process: LCD
Flame Resistance
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.
Ceramic-Like
Process: SLA
Heat Resistance, Strength, Stiffness
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.
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.
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.Aluminum
Process: SLM
HighStrength, CorrosionResistant, Lightweight
3D printed aluminum alloys, represented by AlSi10Mg and other aluminum-silicon-magnesium alloys, combine lightweight characteristics with excellent mechanical properties. They offer an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio, good corrosion resistance, and thermal conductivity, and demonstrate excellent fatigue and fracture resistance after heat treatment. The material is easy to form, weld, and machine, making it ideal for aerospace, automotive, and tooling applications where lightweight design and structural complexity are critical. 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.
