New Materials in USA Catalog: 3 New Shades Of Matte Acrylic<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Matte is the new smooth! With our\u00a0new red, purple and light blue shades of matte acrylic, you can add a touch of luxury to your designs as well as a more diverse color palette.<\/p>\n

Why We Love These Materials<\/h3>\n

These new colors are pretty sweet. No longer are you restricted to strong solid tones, now you have the option to use more subtle and refined colors in your designs.<\/p>\n

What’s also great about these new acrylics is that they are matte on both sides, giving you an elegant textured finish that doesn’t show all those pesky fingerprints when handled.<\/p>\n

Did we mention\u00a0that they are translucent? This means you can rock them to diffuse light and play with a sense of depth in your designs.<\/p>\n

With a 3mm thickness, these acrylics are perfect for lighting projects, jewelry, enclosures, signage, business cards, luggage tags, name badges or anything that needs a soft, matte finish.<\/p>\n

Available Now – Matte Purple Acrylic<\/h3>\n

Need a color that’s better suited to your design sensibilities? …<\/p>\n

Our new Matte\u00a0Light Blue Acrylic\u00a0has such a subtle and pleasing color, we feel like cloud watching every time we look at it. Still on the 123D Make<\/a> buzz, we\u00a0whipped up the bowl pictured above. We think the translucent nature of the material complements the 3D form, to give it that extra point of interest.<\/p>\n
