Strong 3D printing materials
Strong materials resist load, impact, and fatigue. Choose them for functional parts, enclosures, brackets, and anything that has to survive real-world use rather than just look the part.

Strong materials we print
FDM · Thermoplastic
ABS / ASA
Impact-resistant and heat-tolerant; ASA adds UV stability for outdoor enclosures and automotive trim.
SLS / MJF · Nylon
Nylon PA12
Strong, isotropic, no support marks. The go-to for living hinges, clips, and end-use production parts.
FDM · Composite
Carbon-Fiber Nylon
Stiff, lightweight, and heat-resistant. For drone frames, fixtures, and load-bearing brackets.
SLS · Thermoplastic
Polypropylene (PP)
Lightweight, fatigue- and chemical-resistant with a degree of flex. Living hinges and watertight containers.
SLA · Photopolymer
Tough Resin
ABS-like resin balancing detail with impact strength for functional prototypes and snap fits.
DMLS · Metal
Aluminium AlSi10Mg
Lightweight cast-grade aluminium alloy for structural brackets, housings, and heat sinks.
When to choose strong materials
- Functional prototypes that get handled and tested
- Brackets, mounts, and load-bearing parts
- Enclosures and housings
- End-use and small-batch production parts
