3D filaments

3D filaments are printing materials that enable making. 3D printing is a task for patient people - it brings extraordinary satisfaction and effects that result not only from the high quality scanner, but also good quality of 3D materials. Aware of how important the material is, we have decided to organize and present the major 3D printing materials.

ABS

acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer

Description	The most popular plastic in the world, commonly used for producing everyday objects that surround us everywhere.
Additional features	more toned, matte colors (before chemical treatment) easy to treat impact and scratch resistant
Example of industrial application	RTV and household appliances, LEGO bricks, electronic equipment enclosures

PLA

polylactide

Description	Popular material used for rapid prototyping.
Additional features	intense colors better print gloss ecological (produced on the basis of maize flour, therefore, it ensures faster biological degradation) more brittle (less durable than ABS) suitable for contact with food very easy to print
Example of industrial application	dental implants, disposable packages and utensils, cheap and fast prototypes

PET-G

polyethylene terephthalate with the admixture of glycol

Description	Durable and low-shrink material used, e.g. for large-size printouts.
Additional features	resistant to salts, acids, alkaline solutions and solvents more durable than PLA and ABS suitable for contact with food (FDA certified) very good adhesion between layers
Example of industrial application	packaging for food and beverages, fiber production, utensils, enclosures, industrial masks, construction elements

HIPS

high-impact polystyrene

Description	The material is intended for prototypes that require high dimensional precision.
Additional features	very low shrinkage high impact strength ABS derivative
Example of industrial application	architectural models, enclosures, serves as a support material

ABS PLUS

Description	Technologically improved ABS
Additional features	versatile and suitable for printing various models increased durability and reduced processing shrinkage faster and easier printing compared to standard ABS it does not require printing in a closed chamber ideal for prototypes
Example of industrial application	architectural models, enclosures, serves as a support material

GLASS

Description	Transparent material perfect for all kinds of concept models imitating glass.
Additional features	transparent material with properties similar to PETG esistant to salts, acids, alkaline solutions and solvents
Example of industrial application	optical elements, packages for food and beverages

Wood

mix of PLA with wood pieces

Description	Composite material with 30-40 % of wood admixture
Additional features	Smell and a look similar to wood
Example of industrial application	decorative elements imitating wood, figurines, furniture finishing

Fiberflex/TPU/TPE/Ninja Flex/PLA SOFT

thermoplastic elastomer

Description	The most flexible material in our offer. Their hardness starts from 85A on Shore's scale. Perfect for all kinds of rubber prototypes, gaskets, toys, covers and handles.
Additional features	very low shrinkage the flexibility of prints is similar to rubber velvety and pleasant to touch
Example of industrial application	flexible phone cases, elements imitating rubber, seals, toys

PA (NYLON)

polyamide

Description	A very popular industrial material that combines many advantages, such as strength and stretching capacity. The most popular material for SLS printers
Additional features	high finish quality thin-walled objects, very flexible thick-walled objects have very high mechanical and chemical resistance (greater than ABS) very durable (compared with aluminum) difficult to print
Example of industrial application	molds, clothes, lightweight and durable racks, fishing lines, drone elements

PC

polycarbonate

Description	Very durable and transparent material, durability comparable to aluminum. Very resistant to impacts and fractures.
Additional features	resistant to high temperatures high shrinkage very good adhesion between layers difficult to print
Example of industrial application	optical media (e.g. CDs), covers, police shields, skylights (construction)
