Which material suits your project? Here is an overview of our most common FDM filaments. If you are unsure, we are happy to advise.
Our standard material for décor, prototypes, figures and parts that should be made quickly and affordably. PLA prints with excellent detail, but is not intended for sustained heat or heavy mechanical loads.
A good choice for parts that need to withstand everyday use, such as brackets, housings and kitchen tools. PETG is more impact-resistant than PLA, handles moisture and mild chemicals well, and bonds reliably between layers.
ABS is robust and more heat-resistant than PLA, but can become brittle outdoors. For parts that stay outside, we recommend ASA: it is UV-stable, colourfast and frost-resistant.
Suitable for gears, hinges, bearings and parts that rub or move repeatedly. PA absorbs some moisture from the air and prints best when stored dry; in return, it is one of the toughest materials we offer.
Carbon-fibre reinforced nylon for parts that need to be both stiff and light, such as close-tolerance brackets or components that must not flex under load.
A flexible material for parts that bend, cushion or seal: protective covers, gaskets, grips and straps. TPU stays elastic under repeated movement and is less likely to tear than rigid plastics.
We can use food-contact compliant filaments for items such as cookie cutters or storage lids. Printed surfaces have microscopic grooves where germs can collect, so we recommend dry contact or a suitable food-safe coating—not dishwasher use.
