Materials for 3D printing

Discover the right one for your idea. Wondering what your product will be printed from? We offer you a variety of materials, each with its own special properties.

We'll help you choose the best one, whether you need a solid prototype, a beautiful decoration, a durable functional part, or something flexible.

3D printing

PLA (Polylactide)

What is it?

It's the most widely used material in 3D printing. Think of it as an eco-friendly alternative to plastic, made from corn, for example. It's a "go-to" for most projects.

What is it good for?

Ideal for models, prototypes, toys, decorations or even common household items where you don't need extreme strength or resistance to high temperatures.

Why choose it?

It is easy to work with, has a nice surface and is available in many colors. Moreover, it is the most environmentally friendly material, as it is biodegradable.

PETG (Polyethylene terephthalate glycol)

What is it?

PETG is like PLA's stronger brother. It's the same material that makes regular plastic water bottles, but it's been adapted for 3D printing. It combines ease of printing with greater durability.

What is it good for?

Great for functional parts, mechanical parts or anything that needs to be strong, impact resistant and slightly flexible. It is also used for parts that come into contact with food, for example.

Why choose it?

It is strong, tough, and resistant to chemicals and high temperatures. In addition, it holds its shape well and is also suitable for things that will be outdoors.

ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)

What is it?

You may recognize this material from LEGO bricks! It is a very strong and durable plastic that can handle greater loads and higher temperatures.

What is it good for?

Ideal for parts that are exposed to impact, such as electronics housings, various holders or functional parts for cars and machines.

Why choose it?

It is very tough and heat resistant. It can be easily sanded or painted after printing. For best results, print in a warmer environment.

ASA (Acrylonitrile-styrene-acrylate)

What is it?

If you're looking for something extra durable for outdoor use, ASA is the right choice. It's a super durable plastic that's also often used in the automotive industry (for example, for exterior car parts).

What is it good for?

Ideal for outdoor components, garden accessories, various covers, holders or any parts that will be exposed to sun, rain and other weather conditions for a long time.

Why choose it?

It has excellent UV resistance, meaning it will not fade or become brittle in the sun. It is extremely durable and strong.

Flexible materials (TPU/TPE)

What is it?

These materials are flexible like rubber. Think of them as shoe soles or gaskets. You can bend and squeeze them, and they will return to their original shape.

What is it good for?

Great for gaskets, shock absorbers, phone cases, flexible tubing, or any parts that need to be soft and flexible.

Why choose it?

They are elastic, abrasion resistant and can absorb shock.

Polycarbonate (PC)

What is it?

Polycarbonate is an extremely strong and impact-resistant material that is also transparent. It is used, for example, to make CD/DVD discs or bulletproof glass.

What is it good for?

Suitable for very strong and durable parts that are exposed to high temperatures and high impact. Also suitable for transparent parts.

Why choose it?

Extremely hard, impact resistant and heat stable.

Nylon (Polyamide)

What is it?

Nylon is strong, wear-resistant, and has excellent sliding properties. It is a material used to make cables, gears, and even stockings.

What is it good for?

Ideal for mechanical parts with moving parts such as gears, bearings, bushings or highly stressed components that need to be resistant to friction.

Why choose it?

It is very strong, tough and has a low coefficient of friction, which is great for moving parts. Can't decide which material is best for your project? We are happy to advise you! Contact us and together we will choose the ideal solution for your idea.

Materials for CNC production

In CNC machining, the right choice of material is as important as the precision of production itself. Each material has its own specific properties – from strength and durability, through appearance, to price and processing speed. That is why we have prepared for you an overview of the most commonly used metals, plastics, wood and composites that we machine on CNC machines.

CNC milling

METALS

Aluminum (Aluminum)

What is it?

A lightweight, soft metal that is easy to machine and naturally resistant to corrosion, it is one of the most commonly used materials for CNC milling.

What is it good for?

Automotive and aerospace industries, electronic components, prototypes.

Why choose it?

Fast machining, good strength-to-weight ratio, wide availability.

PLASTICS

POM (Delrin, Acetal)

What is it?

Rigid engineering plastic with low friction, good machinability and abrasion resistance.

What is it good for?

Gears, bearings, technical components.

Why choose it?

When you are looking for a solid plastic as an alternative to metal.

Wood and composites

Wood (MDF, plywood, solid wood)

What is it?

Natural material with easy processing, variable surface and aesthetic appearance.

What is it good for?

Furniture, decorative panels, prototypes.

Why choose it?

Because of aesthetics, ease of availability and natural appearance.
