      PA12 Nylon is an excellent choice as a manufacturing material if you require strong parts with a degree of flexibility. It can be used in 3D printing services with a standard resolution of 100 - 150µm, or a high definition of 60µm. With thin objects PA12 Nylon retains a high degree of flexibility, making it a useful choice for designs with enclosed or interlocking parts. It also offers a wide range of colour and finish options, although the most cost-effective design choice is a raw state, which also allows for the production of larger components.

  • SLS

    • PA2200 Nylon

      PA2200 is a polyamide that appears as a white powder. It is a popular manufacturing material for use in 3D printing services as it balances a high degree of mechanical strength with both flexibility and heat resistance. It offers great chemical resistance and can be biocompatible at certain levels, making it ideal for use within the manufacture of medical parts.

  • SLA

    • Black Resin

      Stereolithography (SLA) is a manufacturing process used in 3D printing services in which the layers are created using an ultraviolet laser aimed at the surface of a molten thermoset resin. It is ideal for the quick manufacture of prototype and concept parts. Black resin is a popular choice for its neutral colour. Other ideal characteristics to look for are low odour, a quick curing time, and low shrinkage.

    • Castable Resin

      Castable resins are an ideal choice of material for the creation of jewellery of dental parts using a 3D printing service. Its main advantages are faster iteration and lower costs through the production process. The thickness of the material is highly customisable, which makes it a great choice for the creation of wearable materials with a high level of detail, such as rings or bangles.

    • Clear Resin

      SLA 3D printing services have the major advantage of being compatible with clear resins, which are excellent for creating translucent parts. These allow internal details and cavities to be viewed, meaning that this manufacturing option is often ideally suited to prototype designs. Clear resins have a variety of applications within 3D printing services, including optics, light pipes and fluidics.

    • Grey Resin

      Grey resin is a suitable choice when using 3D printing services to manufacture models requiring a high level of visible detail, but limited functionality. It is not recommended for use in designs with moving or interlocking parts. It can also be used as a base for materials that will later have colours and finishes added on top.

    • Tough Resin

      Tough resin mimics the properties of ABS plastic and is ideal for the manufacture of parts subject to high degrees of mechanical strain and stress. It has printing capabilities of 50 - 100 microns, making it ideal for creating prototypes with functional parts. Due to its mechanical properties, it can be more difficult to work with than standard resins, meaning that it is best to use in conjunction with a professional 3D printing service.

    • White Resin

      Similar to black and grey resins, white resin is a popular choice for printing basic 3D prototype models that can later be painted over or subjected to other design enhancements. Depending on the resin used, it can be presented without the need for finishing or post-processing, making it an efficient and inexpensive design option.
