Why it matters
Prototype and series rarely share the same material.
Additive manufacturing is fast for prototyping — but the series usually runs on injection molding or casting, with entirely different properties. Test on the wrong material and you ship the wrong assumptions.
The Material Matcher finds the AM material that comes closest to your production grade, so your prototypes behave like the real part.
The fix
- Matched on real measured values, not material classes
- Mechanical and thermal properties weighted together
- A prototype that behaves like the series part
How it works
Three steps to a match.
- Step 1
Upload a datasheet
Drop in your target material — injection-molded, metal, or any production grade.
- Step 2
The algorithm matches
We weigh mechanical, thermal, and physical properties to score every candidate.
- Step 3
Get your AM match
Receive the additive material that behaves closest to the real part.
Features
Matching you can trust.
Property-precise
Matched on tensile strength, modulus, and elongation — not rough material classes.
Transparent scoring
See how close each property lands, including deviation and test norm.
Auto-extraction
Datasheets are parsed and structured — no manual data entry.
Realistic prototypes
Mirror series behavior early and avoid surprises at process switch.
