The Periodic Table of Materials

Last week we introduced our redesigned website and mentioned ”The Periodic Table of Materials”. Obviously, we were inspired by Dmitri Mendeleev and we figured something similar would be a nice way to present our 3D printing materials to you. Considering the fact we have a bunch of new materials available and will offer them in the future, we knew it would be easy to extend the table over time.

At the same time, we put a lot of effort into making detailed information pages about each material. This should help you find the material that best suits your needs as a designer or inventor.

So, we’ve described all the materials, made some sample pictures, collected information about coloring options, thought about the typical use of a certain material, and created videos about different 3D printing technologies. For steel and titanium we wrote design guides to get you on the right track. And we did even more, but we”d rather let you discover that for yourself.

Learning about materials is one thing, seeing and touching them another. That’s why we’ve designed a sample kit based on our Periodic Table of Materials. The sample kit doesn’t contain steel or titanium samples but they are available upon request.

The sample kit includes the following materials:

Buy it for 30€ (excl. VAT) and get a voucher worth 25€. For the US that’s $40 for the sample kit with a $32 voucher included. Interested in one? Contact us at contact @ i.materialise.com and our Customer Services team will help you add it to your existing order, or provide you with a payment link for the sample kit.
