Materials

RE3DTECH has continued to expand their capabilities to deliver the most effective material choices to their customers. With a full fleet of the latest HP and Markforged technology, there aren’t many parts that can’t be printed on the technology that RE3DTECH offers.

Whether it’s from a simple PA12 Nylon through robust metal and composites, RE3DTECH is a partner that continues to deliver the highest quality 3D printed prototypes and production for a variety of industries.


HP 3D Printing Materials

HP Polypropylene (PP)

  • Polypropylene is one of the most widely used plastics in manufacturing.
  • Accelerate your design process using the same prototyping material as the final part.
  • High chemical resistance which makes it a great fit for demanding industries.
  • Low moisture absorption.

HP Nylon 12 (PA12)

  • Robust thermoplastic produces high density parts with balanced property profiles and strong structures.
  • Provides excellent chemical resistance to oils, greases, aliphatic hydrocarbons, and alkalies.
  • Biocompatibility certifications–meets USP Class I-VI and US FDA guidance for intact skin surface devices.
  • Achieve the lowest cost per part and reduce your total cost of ownership.

HP Nylon 12 Glass Bead (PA12 GB)

  • 40% glass bead filled thermoplastic material with both optimal mechanical properties and high reusability.
  • Provides dimensional stability along with repeatability.
  • Ideal for applications requiring high stiffness like enclosures and housings, fixtures and tooling.
  • Designed for production of functional parts across a variety of industries.

HP TPU

  • 3D print flexible and soft parts with the speed and reliability, while achieving high dimensional accuracy and repeatability.
  • Specially formulated to provide a more efficient printing experience.
  • Allows parts to be produced for a wide variety of applications that require elasticity, increased elongation at break, abrasion resistance and compression.

HP PA12 (Full Color)

  • Allows users to produce engineering-grade, functional parts in color, black or white in a fraction of the time of other methods.
  • Create full spectrum color parts with a voxel-control system.
  • Produce multiple design iterations in the same time it takes to print a single part.
  • Achieve fine detail and high dimensional accuracy for small features.

Markforged Composites

ONYX

  • PA6 filled with 20% chopped Carbon Fiber making it great for high impact, high temp, and high strength applications.

ONYX FR

  • Flame retardant (UL94 V-0) rated version of Onyx which makes it an ideal choice for aerospace applications.

Carbon Fiber

The strongest and stiffest fiber option on the market. 25x stronger than ABS and a higher strength to weight ratio compared to Aluminum makes this the ideal candidate to print parts that replace the need for metal.

Kevlar

8x more impact resistant than ABS while still retaining incredible tensile strength. Kevlar allows users to develop unique parts with varying properties all within the same part.

HSHT Fiberglass

The most well rounded fiber that encompasses great flexural strength, tensile strength, impact resistance, and heat deflection temp all in one. This fiber is designed to handle the most extreme conditions where all other materials fail.

Fiberglass

The best choice for a cost effective part that is still 11x stronger than ABS. This is the go to fiber for many first time users of Markforged parts.

Markforged Metals

Copper (NEW)

Copper is a soft, ductile metal used primarily for its electrical and thermal conductivity. Copper’s high conductivity makes it an ideal material for many heat sinks and heat exchangers, power distribution components such as bus bars, manufacturing equipment including spot welding shanks, antennae for RF communications, and more.

The ability to print pure copper using Metal X enables geometrically optimized parts that were previously expensive, time consuming, or impossible to make.

17-4 PH Stainless Steel

17-4 PH stainless steel combines high strength, corrosion resistance, and hardness, making it widely used in aerospace, medical and petroleum industries. One of the benefits of 3D printing with 17-4 PH stainless steel is that the hardness and toughness of this metal can be manipulated during the heat treatment process.

Inconel 625

Inconel 625 is a nickel-chromium-based superalloy that is resistant to high temperatures and highly corrosive environments. Printing Inconel is significantly easier to process than traditional manufacturing methods, easily make functional prototypes and end-use parts for harsh environments.

D2 Tool Steel

D2 tool steel is a high carbon, high chromium air-hardening tool steel that can be heat treated to high hardness and compressive strength. D2 offers excellent wear resistance and is widely used in cold work applications that require sharp edges, abrasion resistance, and compressive strength.

A2 Tool Steel

A2 tool steel is a highly versatile air-hardening tool steel often regarded as a “universal” cold work steel. It offers a combination of good wear resistance (between O1 and D2), toughness, a high compression strength and good dimensional stability during hardening and tempering.

H13 Tool Steel

H13 Tool Steel works excellently in high temperature and can withstand drastic cooling. This, coupled with abrasion resistance and machinability, makes it ideal for molds and wear-resistant pieces. Can be used in forming tooling, dies and punches, high-temp tooling and wear-resistant inserts.

DELIVERING SUCCESS AT SCALE

My partner and I approached David at Re3dtech with our project and were greeted with kind and caring service. Throughout the last couple of months we have placed several orders in varying size and were even able to sit down with David and the owner to discuss our needs as a small business. Through this sit down we saw their passion for assisting both small and large clients in achieving their goals. We even had a hiccup with a batch of prints that was immediately addressed and remedied with precision and care. I almost don't want to recommend these guys because I feel like I have stumbled upon a hidden gem in 3D printing services and selfishly want to keep it to myself. Jokes aside we will be continuing our business relationship with the folks there and look forward to growing our order quantities and business with their help.
Re3DTech was instrumental in helping us get our product, Stroba™, to market faster! We needed a technology that could do snap fits and looks and feels as close the injection molded part as possible, and Re3D Tech was there for us. We used SOLIDWORKS Make to get in touch originally, upload models directly, and sign an NDA directly with their excellent team. It was really simple and easy to use their quoting tool as well. Excellent prices, excellent lead times, and superior quality are perfect words to describe our experience with Re3DTech. We went through many prototypes for Stroba™, and we at Goodfriend Innovations™ use Re3DTech for our other rapid prototyping jobs to help get our additional productions out to market faster than the competition. 5 Stars
I provided RE3DTECH three laser scanned ".stl" files for 3-D printing of prototypes. I used their on-line quote and file delivery process. The file acceptance and resultant quote were returned quickly. The parts were received at the quoted time. The parts are quite complex with many holes, angles, curvatures and notches. Each of the parts came out identical to the scanned parts dimensionally and passed the form/fit/function test in the upper level assembly. RE3DTECH has a high quality business process and produces high quality products. I will use them for future prototyping projects and recommend RE3DTECH.
Re3dtech is one of the most honest and reputable companies we have done business with. We decided to look into options for getting parts made in the USA for the retail market. It was awesome to find a local company with humble staff looking to provide their services meeting our criteria, not to mention meeting the Re3tech crew face to face and checking out their operation. Peter was very honest, knowledgable about design. Peter's creative element made working with him a great pleasure. Jim's flexibility was a breath of fresh air and greatly appreciated. CentralSound is proud to scratch the surface with Made in the USA parts in the retail market now, thanks to Re3dtech. Hope to do more business with them in the future.
Re3dtech has consistently delivered the best service I have ever received in the industry. Their response time is unmatched and they always stand by their parts and quality. They regularly make me look like an all star at my job.
It is always a pleasure to have a vendor that provides quality, experience, and always shows as much care for your order, and your product as you do!
