Vessey Additive Manufacturing · Materials

Choose by function.

Start with the load, temperature, weather exposure, flexibility and finish the part needs. Material names are a starting point; the grade and manufacturing process matter.

A studio study of additive-manufacturing materials, functional printed parts and material swatches.
Local manufacturing. Considered process selection.

Eight material families to discuss.

PLA

Visual prototypes and concept models.

PETG

Everyday functional parts and enclosures.

ABS

Housings and service-part applications.

ASA

Outdoor and UV-exposed applications.

TPU

Flexible bumpers, protective parts and gasket concepts.

PC

Applications with demanding mechanical or thermal requirements.

Nylon

Mechanisms, clips, gears and moving components.

Resin

Detailed models, masters and intricate geometry.

Share the application, mating parts and failure consequences. Final selection depends on the actual grade, geometry, print orientation and conditions of use. Availability and suitability are confirmed during quotation.
