Per process.
Plastic. Metal.
Material selection.
3D printing material reference. Photopolymer (SLA), nylon PA12 (SLS/MJF), titanium/Inconel/aluminum/stainless (DMLS). Each process has narrow material range.
Key principles.
High detail
UV-curable resin. Best surface detail. Lower mechanical properties.
Functional
Standard SLS nylon. Production-grade properties.
Production
HP MJF nylon. Better consistency than SLS.
Cost-effective
Filament deposition. Cheaper, faster prototype.
Aerospace metal
Titanium DMLS. Aerospace structural, medical implants.
Superalloy
Inconel 718 DMLS. High-temperature aerospace.
FAQ
Best material per process?
SLA: photopolymer (only option). SLS/MJF: PA12. DMLS: Ti, Inconel, aluminum, stainless. FDM: PLA, ABS, PETG.
Mechanical properties?
3D printed: 60-90% of injection-molded equivalent. SLS production-grade.
Heat treatment for metals?
DMLS metal needs annealing + age-hardening for full strength. Standard process.
Cost per material?
FDM PLA $30/kg. SLS PA12 $80/kg. SLA resin $150/kg. DMLS Ti $400-800/kg.
Material certs?
Yes — material certificates supplied per lot. Aerospace traceable.
Color options?
SLA: limited (clear, white, black, custom resin). SLS: dyed black or natural. DMLS: metal colors only.
