Material Bank - free materials

Anyone use this before?

You have to be a “professional” but it seems like many people here would qualify for that. There’s an application process.

I applied but didn’t spend much time to try to prove how I would use it. (It was late and I didn’t spend much time on it.) So I’ll have to update my info before I can order. That’s ok, I just wanted to check it out. If I have time today, I’ll check out the site more.

I knew a professional in the architecture field. I got to see some samples from a material library, it was pretty cool.

man, our materials libraries have lots of cool stuff. the vast majority of it would be truly unsafe to laser. but i’ve definitely used a few things i’ve gotten out of there. i’ve even sent a few random things to my father in law to turn pens with.

Well if you design for the catalog, that can be a profession…
