MATERIALS
In the rapidly developing industry of additive manufacturing, there are an array of materials, and processes, with specific physical properties that suit most design applications. Here at 3D-2U, we offer many process choices, and can advise the best material for you specific application. With new materials available all the time. The common processes and materials we provide are described below. If you don't see what you need below please don't hesitate to contact us. We can probably provide what you are looking for.
ABS
► Good heat tolerance
► Remarkable impact resistance
► Quite strong with slight flexibility
► More durable than PLA

PLA
► Low heat resistance
► Non-toxic / Eco-friendly / biodegradable
► Very strong but rather brittle
► Limited durability

UV Resin
► Produces high tolerance parts with great surface finish.
► Barely visible layer lines <100μm
► More expensive than most filaments
► Wide range of physical properties
► Very UV sensitive
► Durability varies a lot with resin quality

PETG
► More durable than PLA or ABS
► Great strength and not brittle
► Remarkable chemical resistance
► Great transparency in many colors

Nylons
► Great impact resistance
► Slightly flexible; ideal for moving parts
► Exceptional strength
► Wide range of Durability
► Primary grades are Nylon-12, Nylon-11

TPU/TPE
► Thermoplastic elastomers; TPU/TPE with wide range of shore
hardness and flexibility
► Excellent durability, shock and impact resistant
► Good abrasion and chemical resistance
► Great elasticity
