Raw Materials

Plastic

A lightweight alternative to metal and glass

Foam

Pockets of air make it lighter in weight than rubber; good for packing, insulating, and sealing

Fabric

Use to cover, clean, and insulate objects

Rubber

Compresses and bounces back to shape; often used for sealing, cushioning, and shock absorbing

Felt

Thicker and more absorbent than fabric for insulating, polishing, cushioning, and gasketing

Garolite

A strong, machinable alternative to metal and plastic widely used in circuit boards and gears

Fiberglass

A lightweight alternative to metal and wood widely used in electrical and structural applications

Carbon Fiber

The strongest composite we offer; comparable in strength to 6061 aluminum but lighter in weight

Wood

Commonly used to build ramps, crates, and prototypes or to make repairs

Kevlar

Super tough for protection against prolonged wear and abrasion

Hard Fiber

Chemically treated to be hard and dense, this is the easiest composite to machine in our offering

Graphite

Compressible or conductive for making high-temperature seals, furnace parts, and crucibles

Aluminum

Lightweight, easy to machine, and corrosion resistant in wet environments

Carbon

An electrical conductor that’s often used in electronics and sensors
