3D Printing Material Types and Prices

At Ziyu398 Studio, we offer a variety of 3D printing materials to meet the diverse needs of your projects. Below are the main types of materials we provide, along with their prices, characteristics, and application areas:

PLA (Polylactic Acid)

• Price: 0.10-0.17/gram (depending on PLA type)

• Characteristics: PLA is a biodegradable plastic that is easy to print and ideal for creating complex shapes and detailed models. Its low warping tendency makes it a preferred material for both beginners and professionals.

• Applications: Prototype making, educational models, decorative items, display models, etc.

ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)

• Price: 0.15/gram

• Characteristics: ABS offers high strength and heat resistance, making it suitable for producing functional parts and models that require durability. Its impact resistance and toughness make it a common choice for industrial applications.

• Applications: Industrial parts, mechanical components, consumer product housings, toys, automotive accessories, etc.

PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol)

• Price: 0.13/gram

• Characteristics: PETG combines the ease of printing with PLA and the strength of ABS, offering excellent chemical resistance and impact strength. It is also a food-safe material.

• Applications: Food containers, medical devices, functional prototypes, electronic housings, etc.

TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)

• Price: 0.20/gram

• Characteristics: TPU is a flexible material with elasticity and abrasion resistance, ideal for printing parts that require flexibility. It also has good tear resistance and chemical resistance, making it suitable for complex geometries.

• Applications: Phone cases, insoles, wearable devices, flexible mechanical components, etc.

PA (Nylon)

• Price: 0.25/gram

• Characteristics: Nylon offers excellent mechanical properties such as high strength, wear resistance, and good chemical resistance. It is also a high-temperature resistant material, suitable for functional and engineering parts.

• Applications: Gears, bearings, engineering prototypes, mechanical parts, etc.

PC (Polycarbonate)

• Price: 0.30/gram

• Characteristics: PC has extremely high strength and impact resistance, along with high heat resistance, making it suitable for parts that require durability. It also has some degree of transparency.

• Applications: Transparent components, engineering parts, safety equipment, light covers, etc.

ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate)

• Price: 0.18/gram

• Characteristics: ASA is similar to ABS but offers better weather resistance and UV stability, making it ideal for outdoor use. It also has good chemical resistance and strength.

• Applications: Outdoor signage, automotive parts, weather-resistant tools, etc.

PP (Polypropylene)

• Price: 0.22/gram

• Characteristics: PP offers good flexibility and chemical resistance, widely used in medical, food packaging, and industrial products. Its low density makes printed parts lightweight yet sturdy.

• Applications: Food containers, laboratory equipment, chemical processing components, durable consumer products, etc.

Resin (Photopolymer)

• Price: 0.50-0.70/gram (depending on resin type)

• Characteristics: Resin is printed using photopolymerization technology and offers extremely high surface smoothness and detail resolution, making it ideal for high-precision models. Different types of resin provide a range of properties from flexibility to high strength.

• Applications: Jewelry models, dental models, fine art pieces, engineering prototypes, transparent parts, etc.

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Material

• Price: 0.35/gram

• Characteristics: Carbon fiber reinforced material contains carbon fibers within the base material, providing printed parts with extremely high strength and rigidity, suitable for high-performance applications.

• Applications: Aerospace components, racing parts, high-strength tools, etc.

These materials allow us to cater to a wide range of 3D printing needs, ensuring that we can provide the right material for your specific project requirements. Whether you need a model with fine details, high strength, or flexibility, Ziyu398 Studio has the materials to bring your ideas to life.

FAQ

What is the process for 3D printing?

1. Submit Your Request → 2. Confirm Design Plan → 3. Printing Preparation → 4. Printing and Quality Inspection → 5. Deliver Finished Product

How long does 3D printing take? The time required depends on the size and complexity of the model. Typically, small models can be completed within 24 hours, while larger or more complex models may take several days.

Can I provide my own model files for printing? Yes, absolutely! We support various file formats such as STL, OBJ, and others. Simply send us your file, and we will print it according to your specifications.

What if I’m not satisfied with the printing result? Can it be reprinted? Yes, it can. We will confirm all details with you before printing and conduct a quality check after the printing is complete. If there are any issues, we will communicate with you and provide solutions, including reprinting if necessary.

Will the material prices change? We regularly evaluate material prices to ensure competitive pricing while maintaining high quality. If there are any price adjustments, we will notify our clients in advance.

These FAQs should help clarify the 3D printing process and ensure that you feel confident and informed when working with Ziyu398 Studio.
