3D Printing Filament

The engineer's guide to FDM filament

Nine production polymers, three brands we run on our own printers, and the use-case logic that picks between them. Compare the trade-offs, then shop the spools — calibrated profiles included.

Material trade-offs

Nine polymers, ranked by what they do

Specs tell you the numbers; this tells you the job. Each material below earns its place by the problem it solves — not by where it sits on a datasheet.

PLAPolylactic Acid

Dimensional accuracy and clean detail for visual models and fit-check parts.

HDT 52°CTensile 37 MPaElong. 6%

Match by job

Tell us the part — we'll name the polymer

Start from the operating condition, not the material. These are the defaults our engineering team reaches for before a part ever hits the print farm.

Outdoor / UV exposure

ASA

UV-stable and weather-resistant — holds colour and strength outdoors where ABS yellows and PLA fails.

Food-contact surfaces

PETG

Available in food-contact grades, moisture-resistant, and easy to wipe down between handling.

High-temperature parts

PCABS

PC holds form to 110 °C and ABS to 98 °C — both stay rigid where PLA softens near 52 °C.

Flexible seals / dampers

TPU

A 95A elastomer at 580% elongation — gaskets, grips, and bushings that bend without cracking.

Structural / load-bearing

PCABS-GF

PC carries the highest tensile load at 70 MPa; glass-fibre ABS adds stiffness for parts that must stay flat.

Electronics enclosures

ABS-FR

UL94 V-0 rated — self-extinguishing, for electrical housings and enclosures.

Prototyping / visual models

PLAPETG

PLA prints fast with low warp for fit checks; step up to PETG when the prototype has to actually work.

Curated supply

Three brands, all print-farm tested

We don't stock everything — we stock what holds tolerance across a batch. Polymaker, Bambu Lab, and AzureFilm each earn their shelf space on our own printers. Open a brand page below.

Întrebări

Filament questions, answered straight

The trade-offs engineers ask about most — material choice, stock reality, and how we get a calibrated spool to your bench.

PLA vs PETG — which should I print?
PLA vs PETG comes down to whether the part has a job to do. PLA is stiffer, prints with less warp, and holds tighter dimensions for visual models and fit checks. PETG is tougher, moisture- and chemical-resistant, and survives real functional use.
What is the best filament for outdoor parts?
The best filament for outdoor parts is ASA. It is UV-stable and weather-resistant, so it holds its colour and strength in sunlight without the yellowing and embrittlement that affect ABS and the heat failure that affects PLA.
Do you stock food-safe filament?
For food-contact applications we source PETG in food-contact grades, which resists moisture and wipes down cleanly. Note that print process, layer gaps, and post-processing all affect food safety — talk to engineering before specifying a part.
Which materials do you stock right now?
We stock PLA and PETG in EU inventory. The other seven materials — ABS, PC, ASA, ABS-GF, ABS-FR, TPU, and PA12 — are made to order or sourced on request. Check the current catalog for availability; separately quoted sourcing follows its agreed schedule.
Do you sell refills or full spools?
We sell both refills and full spools. Refills cut cost and waste once you have a reusable spool on the bench; full spools suit first orders or printers that need the original core. Filter either way in the catalog.
Do your filaments come with calibrated print profiles?
Every filament we ship comes with a calibrated slicer profile, tuned and validated on our own print farm. That removes the trial-and-error first layer and gets you a dialled-in print from the first spool.
How fast do filaments ship?
In-stock and made-to-order catalog filaments are normally dispatched in 2–3 business days after order confirmation and payment clearance. Courier transit within Romania takes another 1–3 business days, for an estimated total of 3–6 business days. Transit times for other EU destinations are confirmed separately. Bespoke sourcing follows the accepted quote.
