PLA

The Easy-to-Use Everyday Filament

PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a commercially biodegradable thermoplastic derived from renewable resources like cornstarch or sugarcane. It’s widely used for hobby printing, prototypes, and decorative objects due to its ease of use and great print quality.

PETG

Strong, Flexible & Impact-Resistant

PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) is a durable and slightly flexible filament that combines the strength of ABS with the ease of printing of PLA. It’s resistant to impact, moisture, and chemicals, making it ideal for functional prints and outdoor applications.

Mechanical & Functional Parts – Gears, brackets, enclosures.

Automotive & Industrial Components – Cases, housings, adapters.

Wear-Resistant Objects – Handles, protective covers, tool accessories.

Acetone-Smooth Finishes – Perfect for professional-looking glossy prints.

ABS

Strong, Durable & Heat-Resistant

ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a high-strength thermoplastic known for its durability, heat resistance, and impact strength. It’s widely used in engineering, automotive, and industrial applications, making it a great choice for functional and mechanical parts.

Outdoor Prints – Signage, garden tools, enclosures, weather-exposed parts.

Functional & Mechanical Parts – Automotive components, brackets, gears.

Wear-Resistant Objects – Sporting equipment, protective covers, industrial applications.

Acetone-Smooth Finishes – Ideal for professional-looking glossy prints.

ASA

The Ultimate Outdoor & Weather-Resistant Filament

ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate) is a high-performance thermoplastic known for its UV resistance, weather durability, and impact strength. It’s an excellent alternative to ABS, offering similar mechanical properties while being more resistant to sunlight and harsh outdoor conditions.

Wearables & Accessories – Watchbands, phone cases, shoe insoles.

Protective Covers & Grips – Tool handles, shock-absorbing parts.

Seals & Gaskets – Used in plumbing, automotive, and industrial applications.

TPU

Flexible, Tough & Shock-Resistant

TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is a flexible, rubber-like filament known for its durability, shock absorption, and elasticity. It’s ideal for prints that need bending, stretching, or impact resistance, making it perfect for wearable items, seals, grips, and protective covers.

Mechanical & Functional Parts – Gears, hinges, structural components.

Industrial & Automotive Applications – Engine parts, machine casings, enclosures.

Wear-Resistant Objects – High-friction parts, durable connectors, tool accessories.

Load-Bearing Items – Brackets, clamps, reinforced mechanical parts.

Nylon

Strong, Wear-Resistant & Engineering-Grade

Nylon is a high-performance thermoplastic known for its strength, flexibility, and wear resistance. It’s widely used in industrial applications, mechanical parts, and high-stress environments, making it perfect for gears, hinges, and load-bearing components.

Mechanical & Functional Parts – Gears, brackets, machine components.

Protective Gear & Enclosures – Safety shields, casings, rugged equipment.

Heat-Exposed Applications – Car parts, aerospace components, electrical housings.

Transparent Prints – Light fixtures, optical prototypes, decorative designs.

PC

Extreme Strength, Heat Resistance & Engineering-Grade Durability

PC (Polycarbonate) is an ultra-tough, heat-resistant filament used in industrial and engineering applications. It boasts exceptional impact resistance, making it ideal for high-strength prototypes, mechanical parts, and protective equipment.
