Min Layer Thickness
INOX
Stainless steel screws and fasteners — corrosion-resistant hardware paired with 3D printed components for secure, saltwater-safe assembly.
Mounting screws, bolts, and fasteners for hydrofoil hardware assemblies
PPA-CF
Carbon-fibre-reinforced polyphthalamide — a high-temperature engineering nylon for structural parts that see sustained heat or load.
High-temperature structural components, motor pod housings, load-bearing brackets
PLA
Standard PLA — rigid, low-odor, and the fastest material in the lineup to print. Best for low-stress covers, clips, and quick-turnaround parts.
Low-stress covers, clips, quick-turnaround prototypes, cosmetic parts
PETG
General-purpose glycol-modified polyester — chemical resistant, semi-flexible, and easy to print, for shims, spacers, and everyday functional parts.
Shims, spacers, low-friction guides, general-purpose functional parts
ASA
UV-stable engineering thermoplastic with ABS-level toughness, built for long-term outdoor exposure without yellowing or embrittlement.
Outdoor brackets, UV-exposed housings, weather-resistant clamps and fixtures
Tough Resin
SLA Tough Resin combines the fine detail of SLA with improved impact resistance and toughness. Formulated to simulate ABS-like mechanical properties while maintaining the superior surface finish of photopolymer printing.
Rapid prototyping / jigs fixtures
SLA Tough Resin
ABS-like toughness with SLA surface quality. For functional SLA prototypes that must survive handling and testing.
Functional prototypes, snap-fit assemblies, parts requiring fine detail and impact resistance
SLA Resin
High-detail photopolymer resin for parts requiring fine surface finish and tight tolerances. Best for design and art applications.
Sculptural objects, architectural models, detailed design prototypes, jewellery masters
ABS
Standard ABS for functional prototypes with good heat resistance, impact toughness, and excellent machinability for post-processing.
Functional prototypes, heat-exposed enclosures, housings, brackets, jigs and fixtures
PLA+
Enhanced PLA with improved toughness and reduced brittleness. Available in 20+ colours — ideal for rapid concept prototyping.
Rapid prototypes, concept models, colour-coded assemblies
TPU Flex
Shore 95A flexible TPU for parts requiring rubber-like elasticity, vibration damping, or impact absorption.
Gaskets, grips, damping inserts, flexible connectors
PETG-CF
Carbon-reinforced PETG combining the chemical resistance of PETG with added stiffness from carbon fibre fill.
Hydrofoil structural parts, marine brackets, motorsport ducts
PETG Marine
Marine-grade PETG with excellent impact resistance and chemical stability in saltwater environments.
Hydrofoil hardware, marine connectors, deck fittings, outdoor-use parts
PA12 Glass
Glass-bead filled PA12 with superior dimensional stability and surface hardness. Ideal for precision tooling and gauging.
Industrial jigs, fixtures, gauging tools, end-use production parts
PA11
Bio-based polyamide with superior impact resistance and elongation. The preferred choice for parts that must absorb repeated shock loads.
Impact-loaded brackets, marine hardware, snap-fit assemblies, outdoor-use parts
PA12-CF
Carbon-filled PA12 for maximum stiffness-to-weight ratio. Ideal where rigidity and low mass are both critical.
Foil mast clamps, motorsport structural parts, aerospace jigs, performance brackets
PA12
The engineering benchmark — isotropic, salt-resistant, and support-free. The default material for structural end-use parts.
Surf foil hardware, structural brackets, functional end-use parts, snap-fit assemblies
