FDM Printer Material Guide
TPE or TPU
Flexible filaments, commonly referred to as TPE or TPU, are known for their elasticity allowing the material to easily stretch and bend
PLA
FlPLA is the go-to material for most users due to its ease-of-use, dimensional accuracy, and low cost.
Wood Filled
Wood filaments consists mainly of PLA based material with cork, wood dust. which give wooden look to the printed model.
HIPS
HIPS is a lightweight material used as support structure for ABS models.
ABS
ABS is great tough and durable printed materials which can resist high tempratures.
PETG
This material is charecterized by smooth surface finish and is waterproof with easy printability.
NYLON
Nylon fillament is known to have tough and semi-flexible material with high impact and abrasion resistance. its great for printing durable parts.
CARBON FIBRE
This material contain short fibers that are infused into a PLA or ABS based material to add strength and stiffness.
ASA
ASA is an alternative to ABS and is suitable for outdoor applications because of its high UV, temperature, and impact resistance.
POLYCARBONATE
Polycarbonate has high heat and impact resistance with great strength and durability. hence very suitable for tough environments.
Polypropylene
Polypropylene is known to have high-cycle, low strength applications because of its fatigue resistance, semi-flexible, and lightweight characteristics.
Metal Filled
this material is a composition a fine metal powder with a base material, giving the model a unique metallic finish and added weight.
PVA
PVA is has a tendency to be dissolved in water and hence it is commonly as a support material for complex prints.
SANDSTONE
Sandstone filaments is a is a brick filament that have a smooth and rough finish to your 3D printed parts. The material consist of fine chalk powder to produce a stone-like color and texture.
MAGNETIC IRON
magnetic iron PLA filament is made of PLA material infused with a powdered iron and has magnetic properties hence,the iron particles that give the 3D parts a grainy gunmetal type finish.
CONDUCTIVE
Flexible filaments, commonly referred to as TPE or TPU, are known for their elasticity allowing the material to easily stretch and bend.
PETT
PETT also known as T-Glase filament is food-friendly and also the filament material is non-biodegradable and recyclable material.

Polyamide 12 (PA 12)
Nylon plastic (PA) is a synthetic thermoplastic polymer . It’s a versatile, durable, flexible, Good mechanical properties, Good chemical resistance Matte, rough surface material alternative of other materials like silk, rubber, and latex.
Polyamide 11(PA 11)
Nylon 11 or Polyamide 11 (PA 11) is a polyamide, bioplastic and a member of the nylon family of polymers produced by the polymerization of 11-aminoundecanoic acid.it has Fully isotropic behaviour with High elasticity.
Aluminium filled-Nylon
Aluminum filled composite polyamide produces strong, stiff parts with a grey metallic appearance.It is commonly use in Jigs and fixtures like tools and trays used for manufacture of electronics.
Glass Filled Nylon
Nylon plastic (PA) is a synthetic thermoplastic polymer . It’s a versatile, durable, flexible, Good mechanical properties, Good chemical resistance Matte, rough surface material alternative of other materials like silk, rubber, and latex.
Carbon-fiber filled nylon
THO filaments use tiny fibers that are infused into a base material to improve the properties of that material.There are some filaments bought with carbon fiber fill eg PLA, PETG, Nylon, ABS, and Polycarbonate. The fibers are extremely strong and filament to increase in strength and stiffness.
Laser Engraving Material Guide
PAPER
thick card-stock paper works well with laser cutters. A creative project to try with paper is custom cards with a laser-cut center scene. These are beautiful and make great gifts.
WOOD
Wood is common for use in a laser cutter to cut out pieces to assemble, engrave gifts and carve out intricate patterns in a piece of wood. Plywood and MDF (medium-density fiberboard) are commonly used since they're cheaper.
ACRYLIC+PLASTIC
Plastic and acrylic materials are ideal for creating signs, jewelry, ornaments, wall art and more. Plexiglass, especially colored plexiglass, is a popular acrylic.
FOAM
Foam is a flexible material that can be used to manufacture more comfortable, safer and lighter products that can be customized and it is made from highly flexible polymer materials such as TPU or PA 11.
LEATHER
is a durable and flexible material created by tanning animal rawhide and skins.cattle hide is an example of the most common raw material used. It can be produced at manufacturing scales ranging from artisan to modern industrial scale.
CARDBOARD
Corrugated cardboard is a stiff, strong, and light-weight material made up of three layers of brown kraft paper.
CORK
Cork is an impermeable buoyant material, the phellem layer of bark tissue that is harvested for commercial use primarily from Quercus suber (the cork oak).
SLA Printer Material Guide
STANDARD RESIN
is a high-detail resin that produces parts with a smooth, injection mold-like surface finish. It is brittle and used for non-functional parts.
CLEAR RESIN
Clear Resin is a semi-clear resin great for fluidics and moldmaking, optics, lighting, and any parts requiring translucency or showcasing internal features. The standard post-processing includes sanding support nibs, which results in semi-clear parts.
TOUGH RESIN 2000
Tough Resin 2000 balances strength and compliance, making it the ideal choice for prototyping strong, functional parts and assemblies that will undergo brief periods of stress or strain.
CASTABLE RESIN
Castable Wax Resin offers high strength and stiffness, making it highly capable of printing ultrafine filigree jewelry. The high green strength ensures excellent shape retention for thin patterns such as wire filigree.
HIGH TEMPERATURE RESIN
High Temp Resin offers a heat deflection temperature (HDT) of 238 °C @ 0.45 MPa, the highest among Formlabs resins. Use it to print detailed, precise prototypes with high temperature resistance.
DENTAL RESIN
Tough Resin 2000 balances strength and compliance, making it the ideal choice for prototyping strong, functional parts and assemblies that will undergo brief periods of stress or strain.
