Unlocking the Best 3D Printing Filament for Your Next Creation

At the heart of every great 3D print is the material that makes it possible. Whether you're designing durable parts, functional prototypes, or artistic pieces, choosing the right filament or resin is essential. We offer a wide range of high-performance 3D printing filaments, each carefully selected to help you achieve your creative vision—whether it’s strength, temperature resistance, aesthetic appeal, or precision.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through some of the incredible materials we offer and how they can benefit your projects. Whether you're a hobbyist, a business owner, or an engineer, there’s something here to take your creations to the next level.

PLA and PLA-Pro: Perfect 3D Printing Filament for Everyday Creations

For those starting their 3D printing journey or looking to create visually detailed models, PLA is your go-to. It’s an eco-friendly material with excellent printability, making it a favorite for artistic projects and quick prototyping. PLA-Pro builds on this with enhanced durability and impact resistance, meaning your prints can handle a bit more wear and tear without sacrificing ease of use.

Imagine designing stunning home décor, model figures, or educational tools that pop with color and precision.

PET-G and PETG-CF: Strength and Stability

PET-G is an excellent choice for functional prints requiring strength and durability, like mechanical parts or containers. It boasts a higher impact resistance than PLA, making it ideal for parts that need to stand up to more rigorous use, such as enclosures or brackets.

PETG-CF takes PET-G to the next level by adding carbon fiber reinforcement, offering increased stiffness and strength. This is perfect for those applications where rigidity is crucial, such as drone parts, automotive components, or structural supports.

Think about creating a strong yet lightweight custom mount for your bike or a sturdy bracket for a home improvement project.

ASA: Weather-Resistant Prints for Outdoor Use

If your next project needs to stand up to the elements, ASA is your material of choice. Known for its superior UV and weather resistance, ASA is perfect for creating long-lasting outdoor parts. Whether you're designing signage, outdoor tools, or automotive components that need to withstand sun, wind, and rain, ASA will perform beautifully.

Picture printing custom outdoor signage for your business or durable garden tools that won’t fade or crack over time.

Nylon and Reinforced Nylons: Tough, Flexible, and Resilient

When you need a material that’s both tough and flexible, Nylon is an excellent choice. It excels in parts requiring strength and flexibility, making it ideal for functional components like gears, hinges, and mechanical parts. PA-CF (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Nylon) and PA-GF (Glass Fiber Reinforced Nylon) take these benefits even further, providing unparalleled durability for parts under high stress or load.

ONYX: Industrial-Grade Performance with Advanced Reinforcement

For those seeking high-performance, industrial-grade prints, ONYX is the ultimate solution. This advanced filament is a nylon-based material that’s reinforced with carbon fiber and Kevlar, making it incredibly strong, lightweight, and resistant to impact. But what really sets ONYX apart is the cutting-edge process used to print it.

Unlike traditional FDM printing, this process allows for the embedding of continuous strands of carbon fiber, Kevlar, or even fiberglass directly into the print. This reinforcement is applied in targeted areas, giving the final product unmatched strength and rigidity where it's needed most—without adding unnecessary weight. Essentially, the machine lays down nylon as the base material and then weaves the continuous fibers into the part’s structure for optimal performance.

The result? Prints that are as strong as metal but far lighter, making them ideal for applications in aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing industries. Whether you’re printing custom jigs, tooling, or end-use parts, ONYX is perfect for applications that require extreme durability, stiffness, and precision.

Imagine printing industrial-grade parts that can handle the stress of daily use—think lightweight drone frames, automotive components, or custom tools that will stand up to high-force applications. These are parts designed to last and perform in tough environments.

Novelty Filaments: For Creativity Beyond Limits

Our novelty filaments are where creativity truly shines. Looking for a print that glows in the dark or sparkles with glitter? We've got it! These filaments are perfect for eye-catching, decorative, or artistic projects that need to stand out.

• Glow-in-the-Dark: Create playful nightlights, keychains, or safety signs that glow after dark.

• Glitter Filaments: Add shimmer to your artistic prints, from jewelry to holiday ornaments.

• Tri-color Filaments: Produce dynamic prints that shift between colors as the filament transitions, ideal for creative displays or art pieces.

• Neon/Black Light Filaments: Perfect for prints designed to pop under UV light—great for signage, festival props, or even custom clothing accessories.

Let your imagination run wild with vibrant, fun designs that will leave a lasting impression.

SLA/Resin Printing: Precision and Detail Like Never Before

For projects requiring high precision and smooth finishes, our SLA/resin printing services are unbeatable. Whether you're working on fine jewelry, dental models, or highly detailed miniatures, our range of resins has you covered:

• Tough Resins: Ideal for functional parts that need to withstand impact or stress—perfect for engineering prototypes or mechanical parts.

• Temperature Resistant Resins: Designed for parts exposed to high heat, such as under-the-hood automotive components or electrical housings.

• High-Resolution Resins: Capture the finest details with resins designed for intricate work, like jewelry, collectibles, or model making.

• Clear Resins: Perfect for transparent parts, whether you're creating optical lenses or artistic pieces that require clarity.

With SLA/resin printing, you can craft stunning, highly detailed models that capture every nuance of your design.

Bringing It All Together

Choosing the right material for your project is about more than just the technical specifications—it's about bringing your ideas to life in the most functional, durable, and visually stunning way possible. From PLA for everyday prints to ONYX for industrial-grade strength, our filament options provide the versatility and performance you need to take on any challenge. And for high-detail, precision projects, our SLA/resin printing ensures your creations come to life with smooth finishes and intricate details.
