PA 6 (polyamide 6, nylon 6)
Offers increased mechanical strength, rigidity, good stability under heat, and/or chemical resistance.

PA 6/6 (polyamide 6/6, nylon 6/6)

Offers increased mechanical strength, rigidity, good stability under heat, and/or chemical resistance.

PARA (polyarylamide)

Often combined with infills such as glass or mineral fibers, PARA creates rigid parts with low creep and a slower rate of water absorption than nylon (PA). 

PBT (polybutylene terephthalate, Valox)
A common electronic insulator with a polyester base. Highly used in automotive as a longer-wear alternative to nylon.

PBT-PET (polybutylene terephthalate-polyethylene terephthalate)
A compounded blend of PBT and PET.

PC (polycarbonate)

A clear or colored, lightweight, glass-like plastic that is heavily used across multiple industries. PC is impact resistant, holds great feature detail, and can be used for safety equipment, electronic devices.

PC-ABS (polycarbonate-acrylonitrile butadiene styrene)

The best of both PC and ABS. Higher-strength engineering thermoplastic with slightly more flexibility than standard polycarbonate.

PC-PBT (polycarbonate-polybutylene terephthalate, Xenoy)
A tough and rigid material resistant to lubricants, solvents, and cleaning agents. Very common in electronic enclosures.

PC-PET (polycarbonate-polyethylene terephthalate)

A blend of PC and PET provides tough and chemically resistant results and can be used as an alternate to PC-ABS.It endures harsh solvents and cleaners, making it excellent for sports equipment.

PCT (polycyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate)
A thermoplastic polyester that typically outperforms PET due to lower moisture absorption and better environmental stability.PCT is often used for connectors and switches.

PE (polyethylene)
One of the most common plastics used in the world, PE has high ductility, abrasion resistance, and chemical resistance.PE is often described by its molecular weight,also is used in packaging, tubing.

PEEK 
Offering excellent tensile strength that surpasses most plastics, PEEK is often used as a lightweight substitute for metal parts in high-temperature, high-stress applications. PEEK resists chemicals, wear.

PEI (polyetherimide, Ultem

Known best for its extremely high heat and flame resistance, PEI is used for many medical applications and is more affordable than PEEK.

PE-PP (polyethylene-polypropylene)

A resin blend of the polyolefin’s polypropylene and polyethylene.

PE-PS (polyethylene-polystyrene)

A resin blend of the polyethylene and polystyrene.

PES (polyethersulfone)

A rigid, transparent plastic that is chemically inert, biocompatible, and sterilizable. PES is suitable for food-contact devices such as coffee machine components as well as aerospace and automotive.

PET (polyethylene terephthalate, Rynite)

Also abbreviated PETE, this is a clear, strong, and lightweight PE resin heavily used in food packaging, soda bottles, jars, andmore. The material is food-safe. PET is recyclable with a resin code of 1.

PLA (polylactic acid)

A biodegradable and renewable plastic. PLA has a relatively low glass transition temperature and is common in short-use applications.

PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate, acrylic)
A clear glass-like plastic. Good wear and tear properties. Great for outdoor use.

POM (acetal polyoxymethylene, Delrin)
Good moisture resistance, high wear-resistance, and low friction.

PP (polypropylene)

Polypropylene has excellent electrical properties and little or no moisture absorption. It carries light loads for a long period in varying temperatures. It can be molded into parts requiring chemical.

PPA (polyphthalamide)
A subset of nylons (polyamide) that typically exhibit a higher melting point and lower moisture absorption. PPA is typically used in automotive and industrial applications.

PPS (polyphenylene sulfide, Ryton)
A high-performance thermoplastic with extreme resistance to solvents.

PS (polystyrene): A clear, hard, and brittle material widely used for food packaging, clamshell containers.

PS-PPE (polystyrene-polyphenyl ethers, Noryl)

Exhibiting high heat and flame resistance, PPE-PS has high stiffness and tensile strength even at elevated temperatures.

PSU (polysulfone, Udel)
A rigid, stiff, and transparent plastic which is a higher-performance alternative to polycarbonate.

PVC (polyvinyl chloride (Shore D)
A rigid, general-use plastic that is common in plumbing, non-food packaging, and trimming.

PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride, Kynar)
A chemically inert, high-temperature material. Due to its low friction, PVDF is used in plumbing parts, bearings, chemical handling,electrical wire insulation, and tubing.

SAN (styrene acrylonitrile)
A polystyrene that is heat resistant and transparent. Due to its relationship with polystyrene, SAN is low cost and has enhanced clarity and shine. SAN is common in household goods, door handles.

TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane (Shore D)
A tough, highly abrasion-resistant resin that bridges the gap between rubbers and plastics. TPUs can be formulated to be rigid or elastomeric. TPU exhibits a high flex before break and is ideal for wheels.

Other material can be customized.

Standard Finish

Moldmaker's choice of finish. Typically SPI B-2, depending on geometry and drafts. Interior, non-cosmetic faces, are typically as-machined.

SPI Finishes

Range of Society of Plastics Industry (SPI) finishes from Grade 3 diamond / high polish to 320 stone low polish. Finishes include: SPI A-1, SPI A-2, SPI A-3, SPI B-1, SPI B-2, SPI B-3, SPI C-1, SPI C-2, SPI C-3, SPI D-1, SPI D-2, and SPI D-3

MoldTech Finishes (Mold Texturing)

Range of finishes including matte, swirls, lines, and patterns.Common texture finishes include: MoldTech MT11010, MoldTech MT11020, and MoldTech MT11030. Other textured  can be added by request.

Other Textures - VDI

VDI 3400 Surface Finish (commonly known as VDI surface finish) refers to the mold texture standard set by Verein Deutscher Ingenieure (VDI), the Society of German Engineers. This is mainly processed by EDM machining, producing fine to coarse matte finishes.
