At Maker Factory, we understand the importance of choosing the right material for your 3D printing project.
That’s why we’re now introducing our 3D Print Sample Pack, allowing you to test a variety of materials before placing a larger order. Whether you’re developing a prototype, designing a custom component, or experimenting with new materials, our sample pack provides the insights you need to make the best decision.
Why choose a sample pack?
When working with 3D printing, selecting the right material is critical. Different materials have different properties such as strength, flexibility, chemical resistance, and heat tolerance. Our sample pack allows you to:
-
Compare material strength, flexibility, and finish
-
Understand surface quality across different print technologies
-
Test material performance in your specific use case
-
Ensure the perfect combination of durability and aesthetics
-
Minimize costly errors by validating material choice before full production
-
Prepare for mass production by testing compatibility with your components
Many companies and private users end up choosing the wrong material, resulting in expensive mistakes. With a sample pack, you get the unique opportunity to test materials in real-world conditions before making a final decision.
What’s included in the sample pack?
Our sample pack includes a curated selection of high-performance materials for both FDM and SLA printing – showcasing the most popular and advanced solutions on the market.
FDM materials:
-
PLA – A versatile, biodegradable material that’s easy to print and perfect for prototypes and hobby models
-
PETG – A stronger and more flexible version of PLA with excellent chemical resistance
-
PA6 with Carbon – A nylon-based material reinforced with carbon fiber for outstanding strength and low weight
-
PC Flame Retardant – Ideal for technical applications where fire safety is a priority, such as electronics and automotive parts
SLA materials:
-
Standard resin – High detail and crisp edges, perfect for precise models and fine features
-
PA-like resin – Increased strength and flexibility for functional parts and prototypes that must withstand stress
-
High-temperature resin – Suitable for parts exposed to elevated temperatures, such as components for industrial machinery
This pack helps you experience the differences between materials and gain a better understanding of which one best fits your requirements.
Who is the sample pack for?
This pack is ideal for a wide range of users, including:
-
Product developers and engineers looking for the best material for functional prototypes
-
Architects and designers requiring high-detail, aesthetic models
-
Manufacturing companies needing to test mechanical properties before mass production
-
Students and makers wanting to explore different 3D printing options and learn about material characteristics
-
Electronics and automotive industries where flame-retardant and heat-resistant materials are essential
-
Medical and research professionals where precision, strength, and biocompatibility may be required
How to test the materials effectively
When you receive your sample pack, we recommend testing materials based on:
-
Mechanical strength – Apply pressure and stress to assess durability
-
Heat resistance – Test how the materials react at various temperatures
-
Chemical resistance – See how they perform when exposed to chemicals
-
Surface quality – Evaluate finish and detail resolution
-
Post-processing – Try sanding, painting, or coating each material
These tests will help you make an informed decision about which material best meets your needs.
