Material Selection Guide

Choose Based on Application

For prototypes & visual models:

  • SLA White/Clear Resin - High precision
  • Full Colour Resin - Presentation models

For functional parts:

  • PA12 (SLS/MJF) - Strong end-use parts
  • TPU - Flexible and rubber-like parts

For industrial applications:

  • Stainless Steel 316L - Corrosion resistant
  • Aluminium - Lightweight & strong
  • Titanium TC4 - Aerospace & medical

Selection Process

  1. Define your requirements: strength, flexibility, temperature, chemical resistance
  2. Determine the volume: prototype (1-10), small series (10-100), production (100+)
  3. Consider the geometry: complexity, fine details, moving parts
  4. Evaluate budget: balance material properties with costs
