• Now go back and re-read the last four sentences. There was just all sorts of awesomeness packed into a short space
• Each material has its own properties and price - use the table below to select the right material for your project:

Name	Production Method	Color	Strength	Minimum Detail	Maximum Size (h x w x d)	Notes	Price per cm3
Cream Robust	FDM	Cream	High	2 mm	35x40x40cm	This material is polycarbonate. We recommend using it for larger objects (10-15cm+) that don't have fine details or where strength is a key requirement. Walls with a thickness of between 1.0 and 1.4 mm will have a risk of not being solid; walls > 1.4 mm will be solid. Objects may have a slight texture due to the printing process.	$2.50
White Detail	Objet	White	Moderate	0.5 mm	49x39x20cm	This material is an acrylic-based photopolymer. We recommend using it for smaller, highly detailed objects where strength and temperature resistance above 50 degrees centigrade is less of an issue Objects will be quite smooth.	$2.89
Transparent Detail	Objet	Semi-Transparent	Moderate	0.5 mm	49x39x20cm	This material is an acrylic-based photopolymer. We recommend using it for smaller, highly detailed objects where strength and temperature resistance above 50 degrees centigrade is less of an issue Objects will be quite smooth.	$2.77
White, Strong & Flexible	SLS	Bright White	Highest	0.5 mm	20x25x33	This is the strongest material that we have at the moment. It is also has good heat resistance. The most interesting thing is that you can use the material for living hinges and things like springs.	$1.87
Black Detail	Objet	Black	High	0.5 mm	49x39x20cm	This material is an acrylic-based photopolymer. We recommend using it for smaller, highly detailed objects where strength and temperature resistance above 50 degrees centigrade is less of an issue Objects will be quite smooth. Colour changes from a dark black to a light grey or a silver depending on lighting and viewing angle.	$2.90
