Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel is easy to machine, form, and weld. It's widely fabricated into parts that don’t require high strength.

4130 alloy steel has a low carbon content that provides good weldability. It's often used for structural applications.

More corrosion resistant and easier to form than multipurpose 6061 aluminum, 6063 is primarily used for exterior railings, decorative trim, and door frames.

Polished to either a brushed or mirror-like finish, this material is often used to fabricate decorative enclosures and industrial workstations.

This extruded acrylic offers similar performance as cast acrylic at a lower cost.

Because PVC resists many acids and alkalies, it’s widely used for tanks and in chemical-processing applications. Also known as PVC Type 1.

Route and insulate wire using these square fiberglass tubes, which fit better along edges and around corners than round tubes.

Mount these lightweight tubes to flat surfaces in place of aluminum to create structural frames, machinery components, and robotics.
