See a comprehensive material and thickness chart here. View our Metal Selection Guide for usage suggestions.
1075 Blue Temper Spring Steel
Spring steels are known for their high yield strength, which allows objects made of spring steel to return to their original shape after bending and forming.
1095 High Carbon Steel
Strong, durable, weather resistant. Our best metal for cutting tools.
4130 Chromoly
4130 Chromoly steel is a tough and versatile metal used in a variety of high stress applications. It's weldable, machinable and corrosion resistant.
5052 Aluminum (Standard)
Our 5052 H-32 series aluminum welds beautifully, bends cleanly and has excellent machinability. Our most versatile aluminum.
6061 Aluminum (Aerospace)
Our 6061 T-6 series aluminum is precipitation-hardened. We like this metal for its strength, toughness and excellent corrosion resistance.
7075 Aluminum
Our laser-cut 7075 aluminum has excellent mechanical properties, good ductility, fatigue resistance, high strength, toughness.
ABS
ABS thermoplastic is the perfect material for prototypes, lab equipment, and instrument panels. It offers many characteristics including impact and abrasion resistance, tensile strength, dimensional stability, heat and chemical resistance, rigidity, and low-temperature properties.
ACM
ACM (Aluminum Composite Material) is used for interior and exterior display and signage, as well as low-load part applications. We love it for its light weight, high strength, versatility and outdoor durability. We offer both black and white finishes.
Acrylic
Our clear acrylic is the perfect material for all your signage, display, and projects that need an inexpensive, clear component.
AR400
AR400 is “thru-hardened”, abrasion resistant, alloy wear plate. If you need a good balance of formability, weldability, toughness and abrasion resistance, this is your metal.
AR500
AR500 abrasion resistant steel plate is a high surface hardness metal which is excellent for excessive wear and high-impact applications. This steel is commonly used for armor plating and targets.
Birch Plywood
Baltic Birch is the plywood of choice for a number of uses because it's inexpensive, stable, holds screws exceptionally well, and is made with waterproof glue. Use Baltic Birch for your cabinetry projects, art, jig-making, and other craftwork.
Brass
Unlike steel and iron, brass will not rust when exposed to the atmosphere (although it will tarnish and patina). Typical uses for brass include architectural, electrical, fasteners, consumer, and ordinance projects.
Aerospace Carbon Fiber
Our aerospace carbon fiber (also known as quasi-isotropic) is sleek, lightweight and Superman-strong. This material offers our highest strength-to-weight ratio. Perfect for drones, robotics, aircraft and automobile applications.
Standard Carbon Fiber
Our standard carbon fiber is lightweight, and comes in a smooth matte finish. Our standard carbon fiber is a great low-cost alternative to our Aerospace Carbon. Available in 1/16" and 1/8" thicknesses.
Copper
110 Copper has thousands of uses over a broad range of applications due to its conductivity, corrosion resistance, and ductility. Perfect metal for creating signage, or architectural elements.
Cor-Ten Weathering Steel
Cor-Ten weathering steel is a unique metal that naturally forms a rust-like coating which resists corrosive elements like rain, snow, fog and ice. Creates pieces with a rustic and aged look that will also stand up to the elements.
Delrin® 150
Delrin® 150 is a thermoplastic with high strength and great stability. It offers great abrasion resistance and machining properties.
G-10/FR-4
G-10 is made up of a mixture of epoxy resin and glass cloth. Its superior electrical properties when both wet and dry makes it the most widely used in the electrical field. It's also known for dimensional stability over temperature and low water absorption rates.
HDPE
HDPE is a thermoplastic that belongs to the polyolefin group of materials, and is commonly used as a replacement for wood in marine applications. Sometimes referred to as "plastic lumber", HDPE offers excellent impact resistance, is lightweight, has low moisture absorption, and has high tensile strength. It is also non-toxic and non-staining.
LE Phenolic
Our grade LE Phenolic is a high-density mixture of phenolic resin and fine weave cotton cloth fabrics. Not only does it have intricate details, but it's also more machinable than other grades. It has the best electrical properties of cotton-grade industrial laminates due to its superior moisture resistance.
Mild Steel
We have A36 carbon steel (mild steel) in three surface finishes based on thickness. Cold Rolled Carbon Steel, Hot Rolled Carbon Steel and Hot Rolled Pickled and Oiled Carbon Steel (HRP&O). Mild steel is the go-to choice for fabricators, welders, machinists, prototypers, and anyone else who needs a strong, reliable part that is easy to work with.
Polycarbonate
Our polycarbonate is high-strength, high clarity, and is able to withstand impact at a wide range of temperatures. It's an incredibly versatile material, known for its heat deflection and high voltage insulation.
Stainless Steel
Grade 304 stainless steel is one of the most common grades of stainless steel. It's our favorite metal for decorative and durable parts. We offer stainless steel in regular and grained finishes.
