Production Request
Tell us about your part. We will review feasibility, material and schedule and get back to you by email.
Not sure which material to choose? Compare the most common options below. Final suitability depends on the part geometry, load, environment and exact material grade. Arkonix will review your request and confirm the recommended material before production.
Visual & general purpose
A practical material for visual models, concept prototypes and decorative parts.
Common uses
Mock-ups, display models, housings, signs and low-load indoor parts.
Note: Not recommended for high temperatures or long-term outdoor use.
Versatile functional material
A balanced choice for durable everyday functional components.
Common uses
Brackets, holders, enclosures, adapters and moisture-exposed parts.
Note: Less rigid than PLA and may deform under sustained heat or load.
High-impact functional material
A tougher alternative to PETG for parts requiring improved impact resistance.
Common uses
Protective housings, functional prototypes, containers and durable components.
Note: It is more flexible and less rigid than some engineering materials.
Outdoor & UV resistant
An engineering plastic intended for outdoor and weather-exposed components.
Common uses
Outdoor brackets, automotive components, covers, housings and ventilation parts.
Note: Final suitability still depends on load, wall thickness and operating temperature.
Technical general purpose
A tough technical plastic suitable for many functional indoor applications.
Common uses
Machine housings, fixtures, tools, prototypes and replacement components.
Note: For long-term outdoor use, ASA is generally the better option.
Flexible
A flexible material for parts that must bend, grip, cushion or absorb impact.
Common uses
Pads, seals, bumpers, protective covers, grips and vibration-damping parts.
Note: Flexibility depends on the selected Shore hardness and part geometry.
High-performance engineering
A strong and heat-resistant engineering material for demanding functional parts.
Common uses
Machine components, strong brackets, tools, fixtures and heat-exposed housings.
Note: Exact properties vary significantly between PC and different PC Blend grades.
Carbon-fibre reinforced
PETG reinforced with carbon fibre for increased rigidity and dimensional stability.
Common uses
Stiff brackets, fixtures, technical enclosures, jigs and functional prototypes.
Note: Less flexible than standard PETG and not ideal where repeated bending is required.
Tough & wear resistant
A durable engineering material with excellent fatigue and abrasion resistance.
Common uses
Gears, bushings, clips, hinges, moving parts and mechanical components.
Note: Nylon absorbs moisture, which can influence dimensions and material behaviour.
Carbon-fibre reinforced nylon
Nylon reinforced with carbon fibre for stiff, lightweight technical components.
Common uses
Jigs, fixtures, automotive parts, machine components and structural brackets.
Note: It is less flexible than standard nylon and is intended mainly for rigid technical parts.
Decorative
A PLA-based composite with wood fibres for a natural wood-like appearance.
Common uses
Decorative objects, signs, gifts, interior products and display pieces.
Note: Not intended for high mechanical loads, heat or prolonged moisture exposure.
