Materials

PLA

PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a thermoplastic bioplastic derived from renewable resources such as corn starch, sugarcane, or sugar beet. It is one of the most popular materials in FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printing due to its ease of use and good aesthetic properties.

PETG

PETG (Glycol-modified Polyethylene Terephthalate) is a modified thermoplastic version of PET (commonly used in plastic bottles), to which glycol is added to improve impact resistance and ease of printing. It combines the advantages of PLA and ABS, making it a strong, durable, and easy-to-print material.

ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is an engineering thermoplastic widely used in industry due to its high mechanical strength, thermal resistance, and durability. It is known for being the material used to manufacture the famous LEGO blocks. In 3D printing, it is valued for its toughness, but it requires specific conditions to prevent warping.

ABS

Filaments

ASA

ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate) is a thermoplastic similar to ABS but with better resistance to UV rays, weather exposure, and sun degradation, making it ideal for outdoor use. It combines good mechanical strength with high dimensional stability and long-term aesthetic durability.

TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is an elastic, durable, and wear-resistant material, ideal for printing flexible or impact-resistant parts. It combines rubber-like properties with the ease of plastic printing, allowing the creation of parts that bend without breaking.

In addition to technical and standard filaments such as PLA, PETG, or ABS, there are special materials designed to add visual effects, textures, or unique behaviors to your prints. These filaments offer a distinctive, eye-catching, or functional finish, ideal for customized, decorative, or creative products.
