Senrui Precision – Additive Manufacturing Material Database · Nine-Dimension Property Map · Key Physical Parameter Comparison

Showing 0 / 0 items
This library covers Senrui's four major additive manufacturing processes: ● Photosensitive Resin (SLA/DLP/LCD), ● Nylon Powder (SLS/MJF), ● Engineering Filament (FDM), ● Metal Powder (SLM/DMLS). Materials are split into two categories: ● Senrui Internal Materials are production-grade grades (verified against supplier TDS and typical reference values; see card details); ● Reference General Materials come from a general material knowledge base for comparison. Click a card to view the nine-dimensional performance radar chart and key physical properties. Radar dimensions: Mechanical Strength / Impact Resistance / Heat Resistance / Chemical Resistance / Dimensional Stability / Flame Retardancy / Transparency / Processability / Cost Advantage, scored 0–10.

FAQ

FAQ on Material Selection

Questions about 3D printing materials and databases? Our engineers will answer.

What is the difference between 'Senrui internal materials' and 'reference generic materials'? +

Senrui's internal materials are grades in use on the production line; data has been checked against the manufacturer's TDS and typical reference values, and can be ordered directly for mass production; the reference general materials are a general material knowledge base for cross-selection comparison, and specific properties are subject to the corresponding grade's TDS.

How to quickly select materials based on requirements?+

First look at process and performance: photosensitive resin for appearance, nylon (SLS/MJF) for functional strength, SLM powder for metal parts, FDM for large low-cost parts; then filter by heat resistance, toughness, and post-processing requirements. You can also use the "Smart Process Selector" on the 3D Printing page to get recommendations.

How are the nine-dimensional property map ratings derived?+

The score is based on a material's typical physical properties relative to its class, rated by engineers on a 0–10 scale; it is for intuitive trend comparison and does not constitute an absolute performance metric; use the physical-property parameters below for quantified values.

What level of density and strength can metal 3D-printed parts achieve? +

SLM-printed 316L can achieve a density above 96% and tensile strength of approx. 520-600 MPa; mold steel MS1 can reach a post-aging hardness of approx. 54 HRC and tensile strength of approx. 2000 MPa, with properties close to forgings, meeting functional and mold-use requirements.

Why is a physical property given as a range? Which value should be taken as standard?+

Additive-manufactured part performance is affected by process parameters, build orientation, and post-processing, so typical ranges are given. For volume projects we issue measured reports based on your process window; for single-piece reference, the card details and the manufacturer's TDS prevail.
