Material library
Tell us what the part has to survive: load, heat, wear, sun or chemicals. We'll match a material, or use the one on your drawing. Not sure? Pick "Not sure" in your request and we'll recommend one.
CNC
Metals and engineering plastics cut from solid stock, for parts that need strength, accurate fits, bores and threads. The exact grade is confirmed with you for each job, so the quote matches what you need.
| Family | Good for |
|---|---|
| Aluminium | Plates, brackets, housings, frames. Light and easy to machine. |
| Steel | Shafts, pins, splined and high-load parts. |
| Brass | Links, bushings, fittings and parts that slide. |
| Engineering plastics | Low-friction wear parts and insulators. |
FDM
Engineering filaments for functional parts, fixtures and housings. Choose one in your request, or describe how the part is used and we'll pick.
| Material | Good for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PLA / PLA Matte | Prototypes, fixtures, display parts | Stiff and accurate; not for heat |
| PETG | Functional parts, enclosures | Tougher than PLA, moisture resistant |
| ABS | Housings, tools, jigs | Impact and heat tolerant |
| ASA | Outdoor brackets and clips | UV resistant |
| TPU 95A | Tires, bumpers, grips, gaskets | Flexible, absorbs impact |
| Nylon (PA12) | Gears, hinges, wear parts | Tough, low friction |
| Carbon-fibre blends | Stiff structural brackets | PETG-CF, PA12-CF and similar |
Put it in your request with the file. If you're between two, list both and we'll compare them in the quote.
