Is there a possibillity to make my handmade objects into aquaria? I need fully transparent material UV resistant, no scratches very strong 1 meter in height, what kind of meterial would i need and proces…. Any thoughts somebody, cause these objects are made as a vase but in large format it could be an aquarium, right? Is the material watertight and not toxic for fish?

greetings Jules Hofman

      Hi Jules,

      For transparent materials and UV resistant we have Acrylic in CNC machining, but it might not be so resistant to scratches.

      We also have a couple of transparent materials in SLA printing, but it is hard to make them UV resistant.

      It would be nice if you could upload your part on our platform and message us on the enquiry chat to see what we can do.
