3D printing materials
With enclosed printers, AMS-HT material handling, and hardened steel and tungsten carbide nozzles, we can print abrasive, flexible, heat-resistant, and fiber-reinforced materials.
Standard materials
PLA
A clean, reliable material for prototypes, display pieces, decorative objects, models, brackets, cosplay parts, and general-use prints.
- Standard PLA
- Matte PLA
- Silk PLA
- Metallic-look PLA
- Marble PLA
- Wood-filled PLA
- Galaxy / glitter PLA
Common uses: Prototypes, art objects, display models, signs, cosplay parts, low-stress fixtures.
PETG
A stronger, slightly flexible plastic with better heat and impact resistance than PLA. Great for functional parts that need more durability.
Common uses: Brackets, clips, organizers, light-duty mechanical parts, tool holders, shop fixtures.
ABS / ASA
Durable, heat-resistant plastics suitable for stronger functional parts. ASA is especially useful for parts exposed to sunlight or outdoor conditions.
Common uses: Enclosures, automotive-style parts, outdoor parts, brackets, housings, props, durable fixtures.
Flexible materials
TPU
A rubber-like flexible material available in different hardness levels. Useful for protective parts, grips, gaskets, bumpers, feet, straps, and flexible components.

- 57D TPU
- Silk TPU
Common uses: Rubber feet, grips, bumpers, flexible hinges, protective covers, gaskets, wearable parts.
High-temperature & engineering materials
Nylon / PA
A strong, durable engineering plastic with excellent toughness and wear resistance. Ideal for functional parts that need strength and resilience.
Common uses: Mechanical parts, gears, clips, brackets, hinges, jigs, fixtures, workshop parts.
Polycarbonate / PC
A strong, heat-resistant material for tougher applications where PLA or PETG may not be enough.
Common uses: Durable housings, heat-resistant parts, tooling, fixtures, high-strength prototypes.
Fiber-reinforced materials
Carbon-fiber reinforced
Carbon fiber-filled materials are stiff, strong, lightweight, and dimensionally stable. Excellent for rigid functional parts and professional prototypes.
- PLA-CF
- PETG-CF
- PA-CF
- PC-CF
Common uses: Structural brackets, lightweight parts, drone/robotics components, jigs, stiff mechanical parts.
Glass-fiber reinforced
Glass fiber-filled materials offer added strength and stiffness while often being slightly less brittle than some carbon fiber blends.
- PETG-GF
- PA-GF
- PP-GF
Common uses: Functional prototypes, brackets, tooling, durable shop parts, mechanical components.
Specialty & decorative materials
Wood-filled PLA
A PLA-based material blended with wood fibers for a warmer, natural appearance.
Common uses: Decorative objects, signs, ornaments, props, display pieces, art parts.
Silk / metallic-look PLA
Glossy decorative filaments designed for attractive visual finishes.
Common uses: Logos, display parts, trophies, ornaments, cosplay accents, decorative prints.
Translucent materials
Semi-transparent filaments for light-diffusing or decorative applications.
Common uses: LED diffusers, lamp parts, light-up props, display pieces, translucent panels.
Laser cutting & engraving
Custom laser cutting and engraving across a wide range of materials. Material testing may be required before production for plastics, coated materials, fabrics, or unknown composites.

When in doubt, we can review the material before accepting the project.
Customer-supplied materials
You're welcome to provide your own materials, but they must be laser-safe and suitable for the project. Material testing may be required before production.
Have a material in mind?
Send us the details — material type, thickness, size, and any manufacturer information — and we'll let you know whether it's safe and suitable for laser cutting or engraving.
