3D printers, 3D printing materials and technologies for additive manufacturing

Choosing your 3D printing material is not always easy, and having a comparison point can always be helpful. If you want to 3D print a material similar to rubber, porcelain or wood, for example, the usual information sheet might not be enough to infor...

PA11 and PA12, also known as Nylon 11 and Nylon 12, are polyamides that we offer in our selection of materials. Indeed, PA12 is in our plastic material and PA11 is our black plastic material. As for our grey plastic material, it combines both PA11 an...

According to our 2017 study The State of 3D printing, plastic is still the most used 3D printing material. At Sculpteo, we used to 3D print your plastic parts using the SLS technology (Selective Laser Sintering), but a few weeks ago we started offeri...

Looking for 3D printed rubber or silicone for your product? Unfortunately, these common production materials are now very difficult to produce with 3D printing, often very expensive or with very limited dimensions (and so very expensive). In the futu...

Since we launched our new material Multi Jet Fusion PA12, we can proudly say that it generated a lot of enthusiasm, especially from those who were waiting to experience HP’s Multi Jet Fusion technology. For now, there’s only one material available: M...

As you may have read on of our post about 3D printing uses, ever since the first 3D printing technologies started to emerge, there has been one true undisputed application for it: Prototyping. 3D printing back then and especially today with its ever ...

Have you tried Multicolor 3D printing? This is our only material which allows you to 3D print a part with multiple colors. However, just like a “2D” printing process, the colors of your 3D printed part may be different from what you see on your scree...

When designing a technical piece, you need to know the properties of the material you are going to use in order to know how it will behave, and to prevent any ruptures or breaks. Several physical entities can be used to do so, and the most common one...

Few weeks ago, we released our new binder jetting stainless steel material for 3D printing. It was a great success and generated a lot of enthusiasm among our customers. In this series of questions, discover all you need to know about this very inter...

Creating objects with 3D printing is now one of the best-known advanced manufacturing techniques. With new technologies and materials, metal 3D printing has become a reality to create an alternative for traditional manufacturing techniques. But how d...
