A few weeks ago, we announced Premium Strong & Flexible<\/a>\u00a0nylon plastic, our most popular and versatile material, redesigned with a high-end look and feel. Since then, we\u2019ve gotten a lot of questions about how it\u2019s different from regular Strong & Flexible<\/a>.

Material Properties<\/h3>\n

Yes. The same material and printing process is used for Premium as our regular Strong & Flexible plastic material.<\/p>\n

Appearance<\/h3>\n

\u201cBut <\/em>how different is it from regular Strong and Flexible? Do you have any comparison photos?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Premium adds a sheen to your product, giving it a more finished look. Due to the way it is processed, Premium will also have more color consistency across the geometry of the part.
