Industrial 3D Printing Materials
Find the ideal material for your project
Not all parts need the same material.
Some must withstand high temperatures. Others require flexibility, mechanical resistance, dimensional stability, or an impeccable visual finish.
At Additium3D, we work with Selected technical materials and we analyse each project to recommend the most suitable option according to the requirements of the piece and the actual conditions of use.
