New tested materials, just added — be the first to make with them.
Choose print, cut, or engrave — grab your materials that are tested and ready to go, and make your first project.
Knowing a material works is half the job — the other half is the settings.
With Materials Lab, you skip the guesswork.
A few materials behave differently than you'd expect. Here's what to know about printing and cutting before you start.
Achieve sharper details, stronger adhesion, and longer-lasting prints on wood, acrylic, metal, and more with the right surface treatment.
Not every acrylic prints, and not every acrylic cuts.
Know the difference before you buy — so you don't end up with a sheet you can't use.
Connect with thousands of makers and small business owners. Get free project files, expert tips, product testing insights, and creative inspiration to help you create with M2.
You can apply Transparent Print Primer Spray before printing for better ink adhesion and richer colors.
Finish with Clear Matte Paint Spray to protect pieces that are handled, displayed, gifted, or sold.
Here is a complete M2 Materials Cheat Sheet, which is quite useful for beginners. Check it, and start your first project!
