Each method is tailored to deliver precision, durability, and efficiency for your prototypes and production parts.

Below you can explore some of the most popular materials used in 3D printing to help guide you. NE Solutions works with a range of materials and can provide expert guidance on the best choice for your next product development idea.

Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM)

PLA (Polylactic Acid)

PLA is a popular biodegradable plastic made from renewable resources like cornstarch. It’s known for its ease of use, making it great for beginners creating prototypes, models, low-stress parts, and art and decorative items.

  • Pros:
    • Easy to print
    • Wide range of colors and finishes
    • Biodegradable and environmentally friendly
    • Low odor
  • Cons:
    • Low heat resistance
    • Brittle
    • Can be difficult to post-process (sanding, painting)
PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol)

PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol)

PETG is a durable and versatile plastic with good impact resistance and a slightly flexible nature, ideal for functional prototypes, mechanical parts, bottles and containers, and jigs and fixtures.

  • Pros:
    • Strong and impact-resistant
    • Good heat resistance
    • Easy to print
    • Food-safe (some formulations)
  • Cons:
    • Can be stringy during printing
    • May require an enclosure for best results
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)

ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)

ABS is a common thermoplastic known for its strength, stiffness, and impact resistance, often used to create enclosures, automotive parts, toys, and electronics housings.

  • Pros:
    • Durable and impact-resistant
    • Good heat resistance
    • Relatively easy to print
  • Cons:
    • Can warp or crack during printing
    • Requires an enclosure for best results

TPU is a flexible and elastic material with excellent abrasion and tear resistance, commonly used for phone cases, wearable devices, seals and gaskets, and other flexible parts.

  • Pros:
    • Flexible and elastic
    • Durable and abrasion-resistant
    • Good chemical resistance
  • Cons:
    • Can be challenging to print
    • Requires specific print settings
    • Requires good drying prior to use
Nylon

Nylon

3D Printing Services & Solutions

Carbon Fiber

Carbon fiber filaments are typically a composite material consisting of carbon fibers embedded in a base material like PLA or Nylon. This gives them a high strength-to-weight ratio, making them ideal for applications like drones and RC aircraft, automotive parts, sporting goods, and high-performance parts.

  • Pros:
    • High strength-to-weight ratio
    • Stiff and rigid
    • Excellent dimensional stability
  • Cons:
    • Abrasive to nozzles
    • Can be brittle
    • More expensive than other materials
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)

SLS is an advanced 3D printing technology that uses a high-powered laser to fuse powdered material, typically nylon, layer by layer. This process creates strong, durable parts with intricate geometries, ideal for functional prototypes, end-use parts, complex assemblies, and applications requiring high heat and chemical resistance. Think aerospace components, medical devices, and automotive parts.

  • Pros:

    • Excellent mechanical properties (strength, stiffness, durability)
    • Complex geometries and intricate designs possible
    • No support structures needed
    • Wide range of materials available (nylon, composites, etc.)
  • Cons:

    • Can be more expensive than FDM printing

SLS Materials:

While nylon is the most common material for SLS, we can also print in the following materials:

  • Nylon 11: More flexible and impact-resistant than Nylon 12.
  • Nylon 12: Stronger and stiffer than Nylon 11, with good chemical resistance.
  • Glass-filled Nylon: Increased stiffness and strength.
  • Carbon-filled Nylon: Enhanced strength, stiffness, and heat resistance.
  • TPU: Flexible and elastic, similar to TPU used in FDM.
Selective Laser Melting (SLM)

SLM is a cutting-edge metal 3D printing technology that uses a high-powered laser to completely melt and fuse metal powder, layer by layer. This process produces fully dense, high-strength metal parts with exceptional accuracy and complex geometries. It’s ideal for demanding applications in industries like aerospace, medical, automotive, and tooling, where precision and performance are critical. Think intricate medical implants, lightweight aircraft components, and durable tooling inserts.

  • Pros:

    • Produces fully dense metal parts with excellent mechanical properties
    • High precision and accuracy
    • Complex geometries and intricate designs possible
    • Wide range of compatible metals (aluminum, titanium, stainless steel, etc.)
  • Cons:

    • Can be more expensive than other 3D printing technologies
    • Requires post-processing (support removal, surface finishing)
    • Limited build volume compared to some other methods

SLM Materials:

We can print in a variety of metals you:

  • Aluminum Alloys: Lightweight and strong, suitable for aerospace and automotive applications.
  • Titanium Alloys: Excellent biocompatibility and corrosion resistance, ideal for medical implants and aerospace parts.
  • Stainless Steel: Strong, durable, and corrosion-resistant, suitable for a wide range of applications.
  • Nickel Alloys: High-temperature resistance and strength, used in aerospace and energy industries.
  • Cobalt Chrome: High strength, wear resistance, and biocompatibility, often used for medical implants and dental prosthetics.

This specialised technique transforms digital designs into physical objects. It builds them layer by layer using materials such as plastics, resins or metal composites.

It varies based on several factors, including the size, complexity and material of the object being printed. On average, a print can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 12 hours, but larger or highly detailed models may require several days to complete.

NE Solution offers both Standard and Priority 3D printing services in Sydney. For large batch orders, lead times may vary. Don’t hesitate to contact our team to discuss your needs.
