Choose a material for the job
Compare 20 grades in one place. Start with the part's job and your machine's limits, then evaluate a sample. Supplier figures describe the source material; they do not predict the strength of your printed part.
How to compare these materials
- Define the failure. Decide whether bending, heat, repeated loading, weathering or appearance matters most. Write an acceptance check before choosing a grade.
- Check the printer. Match nozzle and bed limits, feeder, nozzle wear and enclosure requirements. A spool fitting an AMS is not proof that the printer can process the material.
- Compare tradeoffs. A higher supplier impact figure may come with a hotter bed or higher price. Blank data is unknown, not zero.
- Calibrate and repeat. Keep part orientation and process constant, change one parameter, and record results. Qualify electrical, food-contact or structural applications separately.

Four useful starting decisions
Easy setup or hotter service?
PLA's listed bed range is lower than PC or PCTG. Check the heat-deflection method and load before treating an HDT number as a service-temperature rating. Parts inside a hot enclosure or vehicle need application-specific evaluation.
Compare PLA, PETG and PCTG →Softness or shape retention?
TPU grade, wall thickness and infill all influence feel. Compare the same geometry across hardness grades. 72D belongs to a different Shore scale and is not a substitute for a soft 95A part.
Pick a TPU hardness →Appearance or functional evidence?
Silk, matte, wood and transparent finishes are useful choices for appearance. A render shows a concept, not an exact color or a strength test. Request a color sample for a color-critical job.
Request a sample →Specialist material or unverified application?
CF and ESD are supplier grade names. They do not establish a base-polymer identity, resistance range or compliance for your application. Review the missing-evidence checklist before a production specification.
