The Right Material for Your Part

We stock twelve proven production-grade filaments.

Tested, not claimed

Every spec comes from real pulls.

Tensile strength, modulus, hardness — we verify the datasheet values on our own rig with printed dogbone coupons before a material goes on the shop floor. When a number below says “42 MPa,” it's what our parts actually held when we pulled them apart.

Aluminum tensile test rig with a 3D printed dogbone specimen stretched between two grips — the mechanical test used to verify every material on the TAKT 3D floor
