Materials StepGuide to select the right material for your needs and see instant pricing.Which metal for outdoor use?Freeze-thaw, road salt and UV: how to pick the right metal + finish combo for a part that lasts outdoors.Galvanized or galvanneal?Hot-dip G90 versus paint-ready galvanneal: the comparison to choose the right zinc-coated steel.
Stainless finishes #1, #2B, #4Hot-rolled and pickled, matte cold-rolled or brushed: understand stainless steel finishes and pick the right one for your part.Stainless 304 or 316?Kitchen, marine, road salt: when 304 is enough and when the molybdenum in 316 is worth the difference.Choosing your aluminumBending, corrosion, machining: the real differences between 3003, 5052 and 6061, and the right choice by use.Choosing your checker plateRunning boards, flooring, ramps: weight, corrosion and available thicknesses to choose the right anti-slip plate in aluminum, steel or stainless.Custom rubber gasketsEPDM, NBR, neoprene, silicone or SBR: the comparison hub to choose the right elastomer based on temperature and fluids.Acrylic or polycarbonate?Gloss and clarity versus impact resistance: the right clear plastic for your application.HDPE, UHMW or acetal?Three engineering plastics that look alike: slip, abrasion, food contact or mechanical precision.

Do I need an account to get a price?No. You can start as a guest, choose your material and see the price before creating an account.Can I order just one part?Yes. There is no minimum quantity.Which files can I upload?Use a 2D DXF, DWG, SVG, AI or EPS file. STEP import is planned for early October 2026.How do I start without a CAD file?Use the sketch generator or customize a part from the smart catalog.
