MATERIALS AT A GLANCE
Choose your filament.
Know the trade-offs.
Compare common 3D-printing materials by the qualities that matter for your project. Use this as a starting point—not a substitute for a specific filament datasheet.
Strength Stiffness Toughness Heat resistance
| Filament | Strength | Stiffness | Toughness | Heat resistance | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PLAEasy detail | Moderate | High | Lower | Low | Decorative homeware, display models, desk organisers, figurines, housings for indoor use, visual prototypes and parts where crisp detail and a clean finish matter more than heat resistance. |
| PLA-CFCarbon-fibre filled | Moderate | Very high | Lower | Low | Rigid brackets and fixtures, camera or electronics mounts, jigs, tool holders and lightweight structural covers where low flex and a matte technical finish are desirable. Carbon fibre mainly improves stiffness; it does not automatically make the part stronger in every direction. |
| PETGEveryday functional | Good | Moderate | Good | Moderate | Cable clips, tool holders, storage bins, equipment covers, mounting brackets, garden accessories and everyday functional parts that may see knocks or moisture but not sustained high heat. |
| PETG-CFStiffer PETG blend | Good | Very high | Moderate | Moderate | Stiff brackets, machine guards, mounting plates, jigs, fixtures and larger functional housings where reduced flex and dimensional stability are useful. Check the specific blend's toughness and layer adhesion for impact-loaded parts. |
| ABSEngineering plastic | Good | Moderate | Good | High | Tool and electronics enclosures, automotive interior prototypes, snap-fit covers and durable workshop components where toughness and improved heat tolerance are useful. Printing requires suitable temperature control and ventilation. |
| ASAOutdoor focused | Good | Moderate | Good | High | Outdoor sensor housings, garden fittings, brackets, signage components, equipment covers and vehicle exterior accessories exposed to sun and weather. Design drainage and mounting carefully; outdoor suitability still depends on load and temperature. |
| TPUFlexible | Varies | Low | Very high | Varies | Protective bumpers, non-slip feet, flexible straps, grips, vibration-damping pads, cable strain reliefs and compliant covers. Choose hardness carefully: softer TPU bends more easily but may be harder to print and dimension accurately. |
| PA / NylonWear & impact | High | Moderate | Very high | High | Functional clips, hinges designed for the chosen grade, gears and guides at suitable loads, bushings, wear strips and impact-resistant mechanisms. Nylon absorbs moisture and needs careful drying; the exact grade matters significantly. |
| PCHigh-performance | Very high | High | High | Very high | Electrical or equipment components, brackets and housings needing higher heat tolerance, plus demanding functional prototypes where stiffness and strength matter. Polycarbonate can be challenging to print and should be selected against a specific grade's datasheet. |
A QUICK WAY TO CHOOSE
For appearance and fine detailStart with PLA for decorative pieces, gifts, models and indoor products.
For everyday functional partsConsider PETG for holders, brackets, covers and items that may get knocked or exposed to moisture.
For outdoor useConsider ASA for sun and weather exposure, especially where UV resistance matters.
For flexibility or impactTPU suits flexible, grippy parts; PA/Nylon may suit wear and impact. Match the material to the actual load.
For extra rigidityCarbon-fibre-filled grades can reduce flex, while PC and some engineering plastics suit more demanding heat or load requirements.
Not sure which one?Tell us where the part will be used, whether it needs to flex, and what it must withstand. We can recommend a shortlist.
LET THE APPLICATION LEAD
Tell us what the part needs to do.
Will it sit in the sun, carry a load, flex, resist heat or simply look great on a shelf? We'll help you shortlist suitable materials for your project.
