Materials
High-Performance Materials. Industrial Strength. No Compromises.
At Sterling 3D Creative, we specialize in printing with some of the most advanced, high-temperature thermoplastics available today. Whether you need heat resistance, chemical durability, ESD protection, or unmatched strength-to-weight ratios, we offer materials engineered for extreme performance.
Our industrial-grade 3D printer is capable of handling PEEK, ULTEM, Carbon Fiber Nylon, TPU, and more — opening up a world of possibilities across every industry.
Our Featured Materials
PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone)
- One of the strongest thermoplastics on the market
- High heat resistance (up to 480°F / 250°C)
- Excellent chemical, wear, and fatigue resistance
- Ideal for aerospace, automotive, oil & gas, and medical applications
ULTEM™ (PEI – Polyetherimide)
- Aerospace-grade thermoplastic with exceptional flame and chemical resistance
- High dimensional stability and strength
- Available in 1010 and 9085 grades (FR, ESD-safe variants)
- Used in aerospace, defense, electronics, and transportation
Carbon Fiber Reinforced Nylon (PA-CF)
- Strong, lightweight, and stiff
- Perfect for structural components, brackets, tooling, and jigs
- Resistant to heat, chemicals, and stress
- Lower warping than unfilled nylons — excellent for precision applications
TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)
- Flexible, durable, and impact-resistant
- Available in ESD-safe, soft-touch, and antistatic grades
- Ideal for covers, dampers, ergonomic tooling, and vibration-absorbing parts
- Color-coding and visual safety indicators available
ESD-Safe Materials
- Safe for use in electronics and static-sensitive environments
- Prevents electrostatic discharge that can damage sensitive components
- Used in tooling, enclosures, and electronics manufacturing
PETG, ABS, ASA, PLA (By Request)
- For less demanding applications, we offer general-purpose materials
- Great for visual prototypes, display models, and short-life tooling
- Cost-effective and quick to print
