Choose the right 3D printing material for your part.

The economical choice for indoor prototypes, fit checks, organizers, and light-duty parts.

• Visual prototypes and concept models
• Indoor fixtures, jigs, organizers, and brackets
• Fast, economical parts when heat resistance is not critical

Choose PETG if the part will face moisture, weather, drops, or frequent handling.

A dependable default for functional parts that need more durability and weather resistance than PLA.

• Functional parts that need better toughness than PLA
• Outdoor or utility parts exposed to water and weather
• General-use brackets, mounts, covers, and enclosures

Choose PLA for the lowest-cost indoor part, or PETG-CF when extra stiffness matters.

A practical upgrade for rigid fixtures, brackets, and holders with a clean matte finish.

• Stiff brackets, jigs, tool holders, and structural parts
• Applications that benefit from better dimensional stability
• Parts where a matte, technical finish is desirable

Choose standard PETG when toughness and lower price matter more than rigidity.

For dimensionally stable machine-side parts that need more stiffness and heat capability than PETG-based options.

• Engineering-style brackets, frames, and machine components
• Parts that benefit from low warping and strong dimensional stability
• Applications needing higher stiffness or better heat performance

Choose PETG-CF unless the part genuinely needs the added stiffness or temperature capability.

For outdoor brackets, housings, mounts, and equipment parts that must tolerate sunlight, weather, and warm conditions.

• Outdoor brackets, mounts, covers, and equipment parts
• Automotive exterior accessories and sun-exposed components
• Housings and fixtures that need weather and UV resistance

Choose PETG for ordinary weather exposure at a lower price, or a reinforced material when rigidity is the main requirement.

For rigid, load-bearing machine parts used around sustained heat, wear, or demanding service conditions.

• High-stiffness brackets, gears, fixtures, and machine components
• Parts used near sustained heat after the appropriate annealing process
• Industrial components that benefit from a low-friction matte finish

Choose PET-CF for a more economical rigid part, or PA12-CF for wet, oily, or chemical exposure.

For durable, lightweight parts exposed to sliding wear, moisture, grease, fuel, or shop chemicals.

• Gears, bearings, sliding mechanisms, and wear surfaces
• Automotive or shop parts exposed to grease, fuel, or solvents
• Lightweight drone, bicycle, and portable equipment components

Choose PA6-CF when maximum rigidity and heat are more important than environmental resistance.

For tough functional parts that need to absorb impact, resist abrasion, and hold together under repeated use.

• Impact-resistant gears, bearings, housings, and protective parts
• Protective and moving parts exposed to repeated handling
• Dynamic components that need toughness under repeated use

Choose PETG when ordinary functional durability is enough, or a fiber-reinforced nylon when rigidity matters more.

For rigid industrial parts exposed to heat, cleaners, fuels, or demanding shop environments.

• Automotive brackets, electrical housings, and industrial molds
• Chemical-system parts exposed to fuels or harsh cleaners
• Functional jigs and components that need a smooth rigid finish

Choose PA6-CF when maximum stiffness is the priority, or PET-CF when the environment is less severe.

For tough housings, guards, handles, and finished parts that may be painted or otherwise post-processed.

• Automotive trim, robot parts, tool handles, and protective housings
• Painted, plated, or display-grade engineering models
• Impact-loaded parts used in warm environments

Choose PETG for a lower-cost utility part, or PET-CF when stiffness matters more than impact resistance.
