Materials & Filaments
High quality materials make high quality prints. We use a carefully curated range of filaments to match every project’s needs — from eco-friendly PLA to industrial-grade nylon composites.
Trusted Filament Partners
We work specially with Polymaker filaments to ensure consistent quality across every print. From their eco-friendly PolyTerra PLA to high-performance engineering materials, Polymaker’s commitment to quality matches our own.
We also stock specialty filaments from other top manufacturers to cover every use case — just ask!
Our Materials
Every material has its strengths. We’ll help you choose the right one for your project’s requirements — whether that’s aesthetics, durability, flexibility, or heat resistance.
PLA
Most Popular
Made from plant-based materials like cornstarch, PLA is the most popular 3D printing filament. It produces a smooth finish and is perfect for prototypes, decorative pieces, and display models.
- Smooth surface finish with vibrant colors
- Eco-friendly & biodegradable
- Ideal for prototypes, models & decorative prints
- We use Polymaker PolyTerra PLA for quality & sustainability
PETG
Best All-Rounder
Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol — a step up from PLA with more rigidity, better impact resistance, and a polished glossy finish. Nearly as easy to print as PLA but significantly tougher.
- Stronger & more rigid than PLA
- Glossy, polished surface finish
- Good chemical & moisture resistance
- Great for functional parts & outdoor use
TPU
Flexible & Durable
Thermoplastic Polyurethane produces rubber-like parts that can be pushed, pulled, flexed, and put under friction with minimal wear. Perfect for applications that need flexibility and toughness.
- Flexible, rubber-like properties
- Heat-resistant & impact-absorbing
- Castor wheels, seals, gaskets & drive belts
- Protective cases, phone bumpers & shoe soles
Nylon Composites
Industrial Grade
Polyamide (PA6, PA6.6, PA12) nylon blends infused with carbon fiber or glass fiber for maximum structural integrity. These are our strongest, most heat-resistant materials.
- Carbon fiber nylon — high impact, heat & wear resistance
- Glass fiber nylon — high-temp & electrical applications
- Exceptional structural rigidity & dimensional stability
- Ideal for industrial & engineering end-use parts
Choosing the Right Material
Not sure which material is right for your project? Here’s a quick guide to help you decide.
Visual & Display
For prototypes, models, props, and decorative pieces where appearance matters most — choose PLA for matte finish or PETG for a glossy look.
Functional Parts
For parts that need to flex, absorb impact, or withstand friction — choose TPU for rubber-like flexibility or PETG for rigid durability.
Industrial & Engineering
For high-heat, high-impact, or load-bearing applications — choose Nylon Composites reinforced with carbon fiber or glass fiber.
