Material capabilities for precision engineering and manufacturing
GENERAL-PURPOSE & FUNCTIONAL POLYMERS
ENGINEERING & FLEXIBLE POLYMERS
-
PLA — Detailed prototypes, models and general-purpose components.
-
PETG — Tough, versatile parts with good chemical and moisture resistance.
-
ABS / ASA — Durable functional components; ASA is particularly suited to outdoor and UV-exposed applications.
-
HIPS — Lightweight, impact-resistant parts and specialist applications.
-
PA (Nylon) — Tough, wear-resistant components requiring good mechanical performance.
-
PBT — Engineering parts requiring dimensional stability, chemical resistance and good electrical properties.
-
TPU — Flexible, impact-resistant parts such as seals, protective components, grips and vibration-damping features.
-
Specialist Polymers — Additional materials selected according to the application's mechanical, thermal and environmental requirements.
FIBRE-REINFORCED COMPOSITES
MULTI-MATERIAL & DUAL-NOZZLE PRINTING
-
Carbon-Fibre Reinforced — Increased stiffness and dimensional stability for demanding functional components.
-
Glass-Fibre Reinforced — Strong, durable materials with improved rigidity and thermal performance.
-
Reinforced grades are available across suitable engineering polymer families.
-
Application-Specific Selection — Material chosen according to strength, stiffness, temperature, wear and environmental requirements.
-
Multi-Material Printing — Combine rigid and flexible polymers in a single component, such as TPU with a rigid structural material, for integrated seals, grips, impact zones or compliant features.
-
Dedicated Support Materials — Use a secondary material for support interfaces to improve underside finish, reduce scarring and allow cleaner separation on complex geometries.
-
Material Separation — Dual-nozzle printing allows different materials to be kept isolated rather than sharing a single nozzle, helping with combinations that are difficult or messy in single-nozzle systems.
