**The problem that this feature will solve:**  
Visualization lacks textures commonly used by 3D printers

**Brief description of the outcomes that you expect from this feature:**  
Visualization has a rich selection of materials to choose from, but unfortunately, it lacks commonly used 3D printing materials such as PLA and PETG. I hope there is an opportunity to add these materials in the future.

**What can’t you achieve without this feature?**  
I hope to provide customers with a material texture that is closer to 3D printing

Hi Team,really missing the following two textures:

- foam / cellular structure (we are constructing foam parts - if it helps I could send you material samples or photos)
- textile textures - we do design expedition interior furniture

Thanks a lot - please let me know if I can support you.

Hey Shapr. I really love your software btu I am working with piezoelectric materials like PZTs and PVDFs.  
I could send images if needed.  
Thanks a ton for such a great software.
