F3D materials
Material choice affects strength, flexibility, finish, heat resistance and cost. F3D recommends the best fit for how your part will actually be used.
Discuss your partClean detail · prototypes
A reliable choice for visual models, fit checks, housings and indoor parts where crisp detail matters.
Useful qualities
Often used for
Concept models, display parts and general prototypes
Durable · versatile
A balanced engineering material with useful toughness, moisture resistance and dependable layer bonding.
Useful qualities
Often used for
Brackets, guards, enclosures and everyday functional components
Tough · heat resistant
A robust material for demanding functional parts that need better heat performance and a durable finish.
Useful qualities
Often used for
Automotive-style parts, tooling, housings and workshop use
Flexible · resilient
A rubber-like material for parts that need to bend, grip, absorb vibration or return to shape.
Useful qualities
Often used for
Feet, sleeves, bumpers, seals and protective components
Not sure what to choose?
Tell F3D where the part will be used, what loads it will carry, the finish you need and whether heat, weather or flexibility matter. Material, print orientation and settings are then considered together.
Other materials and specialist options can be reviewed for suitable projects.
