A356.0 T6P is a cast aluminum-silicon alloy (7–8% Si) solution heat-treated and precipitation-hardened with thermal stress relief, used primarily in aerospace and automotive applications requiring moderate strength and good castability. The T6P condition provides improved dimensional stability and reduced residual stress compared to standard T6, making it suitable for precision cast components requiring tight tolerances.
Creality CR-ABS is Creality's filament grade of ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), printed by fused deposition modeling, which melts the copolymer and extrudes it through a nozzle in successive layers. As with other ABS filaments, parts are anisotropic: bonding between layers is weaker than along the deposited roads, so strength is lowest in the build direction, and surfaces show layer lines. ABS shrinks on cooling and tends to warp or split between layers unless printed on a heated bed, ideally in an enclosure, and overhangs need removable supports. Parts are often smoothed with acetone vapor and are used for functional prototypes, enclosures, housings, jigs and fixtures.

AISI 4130 is a chromium-molybdenum alloy steel (0.28–0.33% C, 0.8–1.1% Cr, 0.15–0.25% Mo) widely used in aerospace structures, pressure vessels, and fasteners where moderate strength combined with good fracture toughness and weldability are required. It exhibits tensile strengths of 1,100–1,500 MPa depending on heat treatment, maintains reasonable toughness to moderate temperatures, and offers good fatigue resistance and machinability.
AISI 8630 is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy steel (0.28–0.33% C, 0.55–0.75% Ni, 0.40–0.60% Cr, 0.15–0.25% Mo) used primarily in aerospace applications for landing gear, fasteners, and highly stressed structural components requiring high strength and fatigue resistance. The alloy provides yield strengths in the range of 180–280 ksi depending on heat treatment and section size, with good toughness and moderate hardenability suitable for medium-section forgings and bars.
Renishaw CoCr-0404 is a cobalt-chromium alloy powder grade from Renishaw, processed by laser powder bed fusion. Rapid solidification of the melt pool gives the as-built alloy a fine cellular-dendritic microstructure, retained largely as metastable face-centred cubic phase, with higher strength than cast material. Parts carry significant residual stress, so they need supports and a stress-relief heat treatment before removal from the build plate. The as-built surface is rough, and functional surfaces are usually machined or polished. Printed parts are used for dental crown, bridge and partial denture frameworks, medical device components, and wear- and heat-resistant parts.

Renishaw CoCr-0404 printed by laser powder bed fusion and solution-treated is a cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy grade given a high-temperature solution heat treatment after printing. As built, rapid solidification leaves a fine cellular structure with segregation at cell boundaries, grains elongated along the build direction and high residual stress, so parts need supports and stress relief before removal from the plate. Solution treatment homogenises this structure, relieves stress and reduces anisotropy, trading some as-built strength for ductility. Rough surfaces still need machining or polishing. It is used for dental frameworks, orthopaedic components and wear-resistant industrial parts.

EOS NickelAlloy HX is a grade of Hastelloy X, a solid-solution-strengthened nickel-chromium-iron-molybdenum alloy, made by laser powder bed fusion. As printed it has a fine cellular-dendritic structure with columnar grains along the build direction, so its properties differ between orientations, and it carries residual stress and a rough surface. Parts are usually stress relieved before removal from the plate and supports, and are often hot isostatically pressed or solution annealed to recrystallise the structure and close porosity. They are used for gas turbine combustor parts, fuel nozzles and heat exchangers that need oxidation resistance at high temperature.

EOS NickelAlloy HX in the as-built condition is a Hastelloy X powder grade printed by laser powder bed fusion and not heat treated after the build. Fast melt-pool solidification gives a fine cellular-dendritic structure with columnar grains along the build direction, so properties differ between build orientations. Parts carry high residual stress, rough downskin surfaces and supports, and the alloy is prone to solidification cracking. It is therefore usually stress relieved or solution annealed, often with hot isostatic pressing, before service. Typical uses are gas turbine combustor and burner parts and other hot-section components with internal cooling channels.

As printed, it has a fine cellular structure with niobium and molybdenum segregated at cell boundaries, columnar grains along the build direction and high residual stress, giving direction-dependent properties. Heat treatment relieves that stress before parts are removed from the plate and can homogenize and recrystallize the structure, reducing anisotropy; supports still have to be removed and functional surfaces machined. It is used for corrosion- and heat-resistant parts such as heat exchangers, manifolds and combustor and exhaust components.

Desktop Metal Nickel Alloy IN718 (Shop System) in the HIP condition is Inconel 718 printed by metal binder jetting (BJT), sintered and then hot isostatically pressed. Green parts are debound and sintered with substantial shrinkage, giving an equiaxed grain structure without the melt-track texture or residual stress of laser fusion. HIP closes the internal porosity left after sintering, improving ductility and fatigue resistance, though surface-connected pores are not closed. An age-hardening treatment usually follows, and critical surfaces are machined. It is used for complex nickel alloy parts made in batches for high-temperature or corrosive service, such as impellers, nozzles and turbine hardware.

EOS PA 1102 Black is a black-pigmented PA11 powder grade for selective laser sintering, which gives parts that are coloured through their full cross-section. The parts are built without supports in the powder bed. They come out with a grainy matte surface, some residual porosity, and lower strength and elongation in the build direction than in the build plane. Post-processing is usually depowdering and bead blasting, with smoothing or sealing where needed. Laser-sintered PA11 is more ductile and impact-resistant than PA12, so the grade suits functional prototypes and end-use parts such as snap fits, living hinges, clips, housings and ducts.

EOS PA 1102 Black is a black-pigmented PA11 powder grade for selective laser sintering, described here in the dry state. Parts build in a heated powder bed that supports them, so no support structures are needed. They come out slightly porous with a matte, grainy surface, usually cleaned by blasting. As with other laser-sintered polyamides, strength and elongation are lower in the build direction than in the build plane. Compared with laser-sintered PA12, the PA11 base gives more ductile, impact-resistant parts, suited to snap fits, living hinges, clips, ducts and housings, where the through colour avoids dyeing.

Formlabs Nylon 11 Powder is a PA11 grade for selective laser sintering, here in the conditioned state, with printed parts equilibrated to ambient moisture. The laser fuses each layer in a powder bed that supports the part, so no supports are needed. Parts have a matte, grainy surface, some porosity and somewhat lower strength and ductility along the build direction, and are depowdered and usually bead blasted. Absorbed moisture plasticizes the polyamide, lowering stiffness and raising toughness and elongation relative to dry parts. Chosen over SLS PA12 for ductility and impact resistance, it is used for snap fits, living hinges, clips, ducts and housings that must flex or absorb impact.

HP 3D High Reusability PA 12 is a polyamide 12 powder grade for Multi Jet Fusion, in which a fusing agent jetted onto each powder layer absorbs infrared energy so the part areas fuse, and it is formulated so that much of the unfused powder can be reused in later builds. The surrounding powder supports the parts, so no support structures are needed. Parts come out grey with a slightly grainy surface, are normally depowdered and bead blasted and often dyed black, and have fairly even properties across build directions with some residual porosity. Printed parts serve as functional prototypes and end-use parts such as housings, brackets, clips, ducts, and jigs and fixtures.

Parts come out white rather than the grey typical of the process. They are built without supports in the surrounding powder and show fairly uniform properties across build directions with a slightly grainy surface. They are usually cooled, depowdered and bead blasted, then may be dyed, painted or smoothed. The grade is used for functional prototypes and end-use parts such as housings, enclosures, brackets and consumer components where a light or coloured finish matters.

Farsoon FS3300PA is a PA12 powder grade made by Farsoon for selective laser sintering, in which a laser fuses successive layers of a heated polymer powder bed. As with other laser-sintered PA12, the surrounding unfused powder supports the parts, so no support structures are needed. Parts retain some porosity, a grainy matte surface, and lower strength and elongation in the build direction than in the layer plane. Printed parts are depowdered and bead-blasted, and may be dyed or smoothed. The grade is used for functional prototypes and end-use parts such as housings, ducts, brackets, clips and fixtures, often in small production runs.

Stratasys FDM Nylon 6 is that maker's polyamide 6 filament grade, printed by fused deposition modeling into tough, semi-crystalline nylon parts. Like other extruded parts, it is anisotropic: layers bond less strongly than the deposited roads within them, so parts are weakest across the build direction, and surfaces show layer lines. The filament absorbs moisture and must be kept dry, overhangs need support structures that are removed after printing, and printed parts become less stiff and slightly larger as they take up water. Typical uses are durable functional prototypes, jigs, fixtures and end-use parts that need impact resistance and snap-fit toughness.

Stratasys FDM Nylon 6 is a polyamide 6 filament printed by fused deposition modeling, here in the conditioned state, in which parts have absorbed moisture to equilibrium with humid air. Parts are built from fused extruded roads, so they show layer lines, some porosity between roads and weaker properties across layers than along them, and overhangs need removable supports. Absorbed water makes nylon tougher and more ductile but less stiff and strong than when dry, and slightly changes part dimensions. Printed parts serve as jigs, fixtures, tooling, snap fits and functional prototypes that must withstand impact and repeated loading.

Roboze PEEK is a PEEK filament grade printed by fused deposition modeling, extruded at high temperature into a heated build chamber. Parts are anisotropic, weaker across layers than along the deposited roads, and their crystallinity depends on chamber temperature and cooling, so they are often annealed to raise crystallinity and relieve residual stress. Layer lines remain visible, supports are removed mechanically, and tight-tolerance features are usually machined. Printed parts serve as jigs, fixtures, brackets and low-volume functional components exposed to heat and aggressive chemicals, often replacing machined metal parts.

Anycubic PLA is a polylactic acid filament grade from Anycubic, extruded layer by layer by fused deposition modeling. Like other PLA printed this way, its parts are strongest along the deposited roads and weakest across layer interfaces. They show visible layer lines and some voids between beads, and they need removable supports under steep overhangs. PLA prints with little warping and needs no heated enclosure, but printed parts soften at relatively low temperatures and are poorly suited to warm or sustained-load service. It is used for prototypes, fit and form models, light-duty jigs and fixtures, display pieces and hobby parts that operate near room temperature.

BigRep rPLA is a polylactic acid filament grade from BigRep, printed by fused deposition modeling, in which the melted filament is extruded through a nozzle to build parts bead by bead and layer by layer. Like other printed PLA, it warps little and needs no heated chamber, but parts are anisotropic: strength across layers in the build direction is lower than within a layer, and surfaces show layer lines. Overhangs need supports that are removed afterward, and sanding or coating gives a smoother finish. Printed parts are used for prototypes, visual and architectural models, patterns, and jigs and fixtures that stay at modest temperatures.

Flashforge PLA Basic is a general-purpose polylactic acid filament grade printed by fused deposition modeling, in which it is melted and laid down through a heated nozzle layer by layer. Like other PLA filaments, it prints with little warping, but parts are anisotropic: strength across layers depends on interlayer bonding and is lower than along the deposited beads, and voids between beads lower density. Surfaces show layer lines, overhangs need removable supports, and parts soften at modest temperatures. It is used for concept models, fit-check prototypes, display pieces and light-duty jigs and fixtures.

Markforged Precise PLA is a polylactic acid filament grade printed by fused deposition modeling, in which the material is melted and extruded through a heated nozzle in successive layers. As with other extruded PLA, printed parts are anisotropic and weaker across layer interfaces than along the deposited roads. They show visible layer lines on side walls and stepping on shallow curved surfaces. PLA's low shrinkage and slight warping tendency make it straightforward to print to good dimensional accuracy, though overhangs need support structures that are removed afterwards. Parts are used mainly for visual and fit-check prototypes, fixtures, jigs and display models where the material's low heat resistance is acceptable.

QIDI Tech PLA Rapido is a polylactic acid filament grade for fused deposition modeling, formulated for fast printing. Like other extruded PLA, it is built up from fused roads, so parts show visible layer lines, small voids between roads, and lower strength across layers than along them. It prints with little warping, needs supports only under steep overhangs, and can be sanded or coated for a smoother finish. Printed parts are used for concept models, fit and form prototypes, light-duty jigs and fixtures, and display pieces that will not see heat or sustained loads.

Raise3D Hyper Speed PLA is a polylactic acid filament grade printed by fused deposition modeling, formulated for extrusion at higher print speeds than standard PLA. Like other extruded PLA, parts are built from fused beads and are anisotropic, weakest across layers, where strength depends on interlayer bonding. It shrinks and warps little and needs no heated chamber, but parts show layer lines, stair-stepping on curved surfaces and marks from supports under overhangs. Printed parts serve as rapid prototypes, concept and display models, and lightly loaded jigs and fixtures kept near room temperature.

Raise3D Hyper Speed PLA printed by fused deposition modeling is a polylactic acid filament grade formulated for fast extrusion, here in the conditioned state, held at controlled temperature and humidity before testing. As with other extruded PLA, parts are built from fused beads, so they are weaker across layers than along them and show layer lines, some internal voids and stair-stepping on sloped faces. PLA warps little in printing and needs removable supports only under overhangs. Parts serve as prototypes, fixtures, jigs and enclosures where quick turnaround matters more than heat resistance.

Prusament PC Blend from Prusa Research is a polycarbonate-based filament for fused deposition modeling, formulated as a blend so that it warps less and prints more readily than unmodified polycarbonate. Like other printed polycarbonate, it needs high nozzle and bed temperatures, an enclosed build space for larger parts, and dry filament, since absorbed moisture degrades extrusion and surface quality. Printed parts are anisotropic, with lower strength and toughness across layers than along them, and show visible layer lines on side walls. It is used for tough functional parts such as brackets, housings, jigs and fixtures, and components that must withstand higher temperatures than common printing plastics.

UltiMaker PP is a polypropylene filament grade printed by fused deposition modeling, in which the semi-crystalline polymer is melted and extruded through a nozzle layer by layer. Polypropylene shrinks markedly as it cools and crystallizes, so printed parts are prone to warping and adhere poorly to most build surfaces, usually needing a polypropylene-compatible bed surface and a draft-free build. Parts show visible layer lines and are weaker and less tough across layers than along them. Printed parts are used for chemically resistant containers and fixtures, living hinges, snap fits and functional prototypes of parts later injection moulded in polypropylene.

Bambu Lab Bambu PVA is a polyvinyl alcohol filament grade for fused deposition modeling, used as a water-soluble support material printed alongside a build material on multi-material machines. PVA is strongly hygroscopic, so the filament must be kept dry to avoid stringing, bubbling and poor extrusion. After printing, the supports are dissolved by soaking the part in water, which leaves the contact surfaces free of the scars that breakaway supports leave. It supports overhangs, internal channels and enclosed cavities that breakaway supports cannot reach, and is typically paired with PLA and similar low-temperature filaments.

Ti-15V-3Cr-3Sn-3Al STA is a metastable beta titanium alloy in solution-treated and aged condition, combining high strength (typically 1200-1400 MPa tensile strength) with excellent fracture toughness and damage tolerance for aerospace fasteners and structural components. The STA condition provides optimized strength-toughness balance through controlled precipitation hardening while maintaining good fatigue resistance and low-temperature impact properties required in critical airframe applications.
Colibrium Additive Ti6Al4V Grade 23 (Spectra L) is the maker's extra-low-interstitial Ti-6Al-4V grade for electron beam powder bed fusion, in the as-built condition. The heated powder bed and vacuum let the alloy cool slowly. This gives a fine lamellar alpha-beta structure in columnar prior-beta grains along the build direction instead of martensite, with low residual stress. As-built surfaces are rough, partially sintered powder is removed by blasting, and parts are often hot isostatically pressed to close residual porosity. Typical uses are orthopedic implants with porous lattice surfaces and aerospace components.

3D Systems LaserForm Ti Gr23 (A) is a grade of Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Grade 23) powder made for laser powder bed fusion, in which a laser melts the titanium alloy powder layer by layer under inert gas. Rapid solidification gives a fine martensitic microstructure in columnar prior-beta grains along the build direction, so as-built parts are strong but less ductile and somewhat anisotropic. Parts need supports and carry high residual stress, so they are stress relieved before removal from the plate and are often hot isostatically pressed and machined to close porosity, improve fatigue life and remove the rough surface. Uses include aerospace brackets and lattice-structured orthopedic parts.

3D Systems LaserForm Ti Gr23 (A) is a Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Grade 23) powder grade for laser powder bed fusion, here in the as-built condition without heat treatment. Rapid melt-pool solidification gives fine acicular alpha-prime martensite in columnar prior-beta grains along the build direction, so as-built parts are strong but less ductile than wrought material and anisotropic. Parts carry high residual stress, need supports, and have rough side and downskin surfaces. They are usually stress relieved, often hot isostatically pressed, and machined before use in aerospace, medical and industrial components.

3D Systems LaserForm Ti Gr23 (A) is that maker's Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Grade 23) grade for laser powder bed fusion, here in the hot isostatically pressed condition. As printed, rapid cooling gives fine alpha-prime martensite in columnar prior-beta grains along the build direction, with residual stress, support structures and a rough surface. HIP closes internal porosity and decomposes the martensite into a coarser lamellar alpha-beta structure. This improves ductility and fatigue resistance and reduces anisotropy, though surfaces still need machining or finishing where fatigue matters. Typical parts are orthopedic implants, porous lattice structures and lightweight aerospace components.

3D Systems LaserForm Ti Gr23 (A) is a Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Grade 23) grade printed by laser powder bed fusion, here stress-relieved. As built, it forms columnar prior-beta grains along the build direction filled with fine alpha-prime martensite, giving high strength, low ductility, anisotropy and high residual stress. Stress relief, done before removal from the build plate, lowers residual stress and distortion and partly decomposes the martensite but leaves the columnar grains and any porosity. Parts still need support removal and machining or finishing, and hot isostatic pressing is often added for fatigue loading. Uses include orthopedic and dental implant components, lattice structures and aerospace brackets.

Nikon SLM Solutions Ti6Al4V ELI (Grade 23) is that maker's powder grade of extra-low-interstitial Ti-6Al-4V for laser powder bed fusion. Rapid melt-pool cooling gives a fine acicular martensite within columnar prior-beta grains along the build direction, so as-built parts are strong but of limited ductility and somewhat anisotropic. Parts are built on supports and carry high residual stress. They are normally stress relieved, often hot isostatically pressed to close porosity and improve fatigue strength, and machined where the rough as-built surface matters. Typical uses include orthopedic implants with porous lattice surfaces and lightweight aerospace brackets.
