3D PRINT MATERIALS

💀 3D PRINT MATERIALS

VIL 3D prints our models exclusively using metals and plastics (we may make exceptions for custom orders). A full list of available materials may be found on Shapeways; link provided below. Note VIL is not able to have our models 3D printed in every available material.


✦ PLASTICS ✦

Versatile Plastic is what VIL has featured on our listings. Versatile Plastics come in 9 different color options and provide the most affordable option for buyers. Plastics are also very consistent in color and texture.

If there is a color section you'd like to see on a listing and it's not actively there, please let us know and we'd be happy to update the listing for you.

 

✧ METALS ✧

Metals offer an impressive appearance for all our 3D models. VIL features mostly Brass, real Silver, real Gold, and Steels (Bronze Steel, Gold Steel, Nickel Steel, Bronzed-Silver Steel, Black Steel) on our listings.

Bronzed-Silver Steel is the most affordable option, but also results in the most varying color/finish outcomes. Bronzed-Silver Steel may result in a bronze or silver color. The finish may also be smooth or very rough/matte.

To ensure a more consistent color and finish, VIL recommends the other Steel and Metal options. Polished Nickel Steel results in the most silver color outcome (for steel options).

Pure Gold and the Pure Silver options are also absolutely incredible and impressive in person. They provide the most elite appearance of any material selection.
