Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is the most versatile technique and is used for functional and visual prototypes, final products, jigs and fixtures, package studies, visualization and architectural models with a lower degree of detail richness and surface finish. FDM has the largest range of materials of all 3d printing techniques and is the one used by the most users. By extruding thermoplastic through a nozzle, the object is built up layer by layer. The selectable materials range from everything between the most common construction plastics to more specific plastics such as bio-plastics and plastics based on corn and wood. Many different colors are offered but normally you are limited to only one or two colors per component. We work with many different methods within 3D printing, including SLS printing and SLA printing.

PETG is a versatile material with material properties that lie between PLA and ABS, which means that it is both stiff and impact-resistant. These mechanical properties together with the high resistance to chemicals and moisture make PETG a perfect material for applications inside and outside industrial doors. We offer PETG in a variety of colors and we also have an ESD-rated variant, PETG-ESD, as well as one that is carbon fiber reinforced, X-PETG.

ABS is one of the most common structural materials used in industry due to its impact resistance and strength. Our ABS is 100% recycled and has the same high mechanical properties as "new". PETG is used more and more instead of ABS due to higher rigidity but ABS has a little higher impact resistance and quite a lot higher temperature resistance than PETG.

NinjaFlex® is a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and is as similar as you can get to regular rubber in 3d printing. With an elasticity of 65%, it is used for soft parts of grippers, flexible covers for mechanical joints, and for all types of prototypes where rubber-like properties are desired. NinjaFlex® has very good adhesion between layers which makes it a strong material in all directions. The surface structure is rough and the richness of detail is low.

Nylon is a durable material with high strength, low friction and resistance to organic chemicals. This combination of material properties means that it is widely used for industrial purposes such as weight cloth, jigs and fixtures as well as various types of bearings. If higher stiffness is desired, carbon fiber-reinforced nylon, Nylon-X, is recommended.

PLA is the most used filament for 3d printing. It is offered in a variety of colors and combinations and is also bio-based, making it popular for toys and household applications. PLA is relatively easy to print with and is therefore suitable for the production of geometries with high resolution and with a good surface finish. PLA is most often used for design models, architectural models and prototypes to investigate one or more functions.
