3D printing materials
We print in 24 filaments, from everyday PLA to engineering plastics reinforced with carbon fibre. Pick a family to see what each filament is good for, how they compare on detail, strength and heat, and the colours we print them in.
PLA
Easy Display Models
-
PLA (Basic)
Our everyday material: smooth, slightly glossy, crisp detail and the lowest price.
-
PLA - Matte
Basic PLA with a flat, non-shiny finish that hides layer lines.
-
PLA - Galaxy
Deep colours with shimmering flecks, like a starry night sky.
-
PLA - Marble
A speckled, stone-like finish that looks like real marble.
-
PLA - Metal
A metallic finish that looks like real metal, no paint needed.
-
PLA - Sparkle
Glitter flecks through the plastic for a sparkly, granite-like look.
-
PLA - Tough
Toughened PLA that bends before it breaks: for clips, brackets and knocks.
-
PLA - Wood
Real wood fibres for a natural, matte, wood-like look.
-
PLA Silk/Silk+
High-shine, metallic-look sheen for decorative pieces.
-
PLA - Glow
Glows in the dark after charging in daylight or lamp light.
-
PLA - Aero
Lightweight foaming PLA for RC planes and light props.
-
PLA-CF - Standard
Carbon-fibre filled PLA: stiff, with a technical matte look.
PETG
Tough & Functional
-
PETG - HF
Tough, water-resistant and copes with more heat than PLA: great for functional parts.
-
PETG - Translucent
See-through PETG for lamp shades, light diffusers and cases.
-
PCTG - Standard
An extra-tough PETG relative that shrugs off drops and knocks.
-
PETG-CF - Standard
Carbon-fibre PETG: stiff, tough and matte.
ABS
Strong & Heat-Resistant
-
ABS - Standard
Strong, heat-resistant engineering plastic for warm places.
ASA
UV & Weatherproof
-
ASA - Standard
UV- and weatherproof: made to live outdoors.
TPU
Flexible Rubber-Like
-
TPU - 95A HF
Flexible and rubber-like: bends, squashes and springs back.
PC
High Impact Strength
-
PC - Polycarbonate
Very strong, impact- and heat-resistant engineering plastic.
PA-Nylon
Tough & Low-Friction
-
PA6-CF - Nylon 6 CF
Carbon-fibre nylon: very stiff, strong and wear-resistant.
-
PAHT-CF - Nylon CF
High-temperature carbon-fibre nylon for demanding parts.
-
PPA-CF - Standard
Top-tier carbon-fibre polyamide for extreme heat and strength.
PPS
High Chemical Resistance
-
PPS-CF - Standard
Carbon-fibre PPS: resists chemicals, high heat and flame.
