The first step to transform your 2D profile into real part.
Once your drawing is imported or model chosen, the first step is material selection. This choice determines compatibility and manufacturing cost.
Display only material families that interest you (steel, aluminum, technical plastics, etc.). Filters keep interface clear, even with rich library.
List only shows materials compatible with your drawing. If your part exceeds min/max dimensions, has holes too close or bridges too thin, these materials are automatically hidden.

Click on thickness to see price update instantly. Compare budget impact between several materials in few clicks.
Physical rendering reproduces chosen material's appearance. Ideal to validate final aesthetics before production.
Rename part, toggle between metric and imperial units (depending on material) and keep parameters consistent during fine-tuning.
After selection, save part to vault or add to cart. Check volume discounts to anticipate your quantities.
Move to next step to add bend lines, configure drilling, engraving or finishes. Chosen material stays linked to your part for rest of process.
