2025 UAE Materials Guide: Which 3D Printing Material is Right for Your Project?
Choosing the wrong material is the fastest way to turn an exciting project into a costly failure—especially in the UAE’s extreme heat, humidity, and dust.
Here are the exact industrial-grade materials trusted by the most demanding companies operating in the Emirates right now.
Polymers – HP Multi Jet Fusion
- PA12 (Nylon 12) – The workhorse. Best balance of strength, flexibility, chemical resistance, and UV stability. Used for end-use parts exposed to UAE sun.
- PA12 Glass-Filled (PA12-GB) – 40% stiffer than standard PA12. Perfect for structural components and jigs.
- PA11 – Higher impact resistance and ductility. Ideal for living hinges and snap-fits.
- TPU 90A – Flexible, rubber-like material for seals, gaskets, and overmolds.
High-Performance Resins – SLA
- High-Temp Resin – HDT up to 238°C @ 0.45 MPa. For under-hood automotive and electronic enclosures.
- Rigid 10K – Highest tensile strength and stiffness in resin category.
- Clear & Durable Resins – Crystal-clear parts with excellent detail for lenses and flow visualization.
Metals – Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS)
- Titanium Ti64 – Best strength-to-weight ratio, fully biocompatible, corrosion-proof.
- Stainless Steel 316L – Excellent corrosion resistance for marine and chemical applications.
- Inconel 718 – Extreme temperature and oxidation resistance for turbines and heat exchangers.
- Aluminium AlSi10Mg – Lightweight with good thermal properties, widely used in automotive and aerospace.
All materials are processed in our ISO 9001:2015 certified facility with full material traceability—critical for aerospace, medical, and oil & gas clients.
