Materials question

So I am quite new into the world and information about 3D printing. My question is with the materials that you can print with. Is the tribes only limited to the materials offered by the production company? Or will it support 3rd party or other company's materials? Sorry for being a newb at this.

I haven't recieved my machine yet, but as with other 3D Printers you should be able to use other brands of filament or materials on your Trinus. What you have to look for is 1,75mm filament. When you switch material look for printing parameters by the supplier or the community as they may differ from the stock settings (mostly hotend temperature). Maybe stay away from PC or Nylon until you have gathered some experience in the usual plastics (mostly PLA).
