Resin
Photopolymers for SLA, DLP, and LCD: fine detail, smooth surfaces, visual models, and tough or high-temp grades.
Materials
Resin, nylon, filament, and metal 3D printer materials for rapid prototypes and production 3D printed parts.
Each grade lists ability, properties, and post-processing so you can compare resin detail, nylon durability, or metal heat resistance before you upload.
3D printing materials are the resins, thermoplastic powders, filaments, and metal powders that an additive process can actually build. The printer only places material where the model needs it, so lattices, internal channels, and one-off shapes do not require a mold.
On AIHFABS the same upload can price SLA, DLP, LCD, SLS, MJF, FDM, and metal SLM. You choose the grade for cosmetics, strength, or heat, then add dye, vapor smoothing, or machining on the quote.

Browse materials listEngineering grade materials on this shelf include glass-filled nylons, high-temp resin, and SLM metals when heat, stiffness, or load exceeds standard plastics.
MetalKeep the model in a library. Reprint when the revision changes — no obsolete resin or powder on your shelf.
Match strength, heat, flex, and surface finish before you lock a grade.
Need the most durable 3D printing material? Start with PA 12, glass-filled nylon, or SLM metal.
High-temp resin, PA 6 GF, and SLM alloys hold shape when PLA or standard resin would soften.
TPU for seals and living strain; nylon for snap-fits; rigid resin when the part should not bend.
Pick a rapid prototype material in SLA resin when cosmetics matter. Nylon and FDM need more finishing.
Same catalog, two jobs: prove the design, then print the lot.
SLA resins and PLA for visual checks. Tough resin or PA 12 when the prototype has to click, flex, or take a drop.
SLS/MJF nylon, TPU, and SLM metal for 1–200 end-use pieces without a mold. Keep the file and reprint the current revision.

On this shelf: standard, tough, high-detail, high-temp, and clear resins; PA 11, PA 12, glass-filled nylons; TPU and glass-filled PP; PLA, PETG, ABS; and SLM aluminum, stainless, titanium, and Inconel.
Plastic jobs often start around $12–$30; metal SLM from about $90. Volume, supports, and finish set the line on the quote — not a catalog list price.
PLA and standard resin soften first. ABS, PA 12, and high-temp resin hold more heat. For continuous high temperature, use PA 6 GF or SLM metal and confirm the drawing on the quote.
PLA is plant-based; PA 11 is partly bio-based; powder beds recycle unused powder. Most other grades are not compostable. Print only the lot you need to avoid obsolete stock.
For plastics, glass-filled nylon. For load and heat, SLM stainless or titanium. Durability follows the load path and finish, not the datasheet alone.
