- PLA / PLA+
PLA filament — properties and applications
PLA (polylactic acid) is made from renewable sources such as corn starch and is the most common filament in 3D printing. Its low printing temperature and ease of use make it ideal for beginners.

PETG filament — properties and applications
PETG (glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate) is tougher and more heat-resistant than PLA, while printing more easily than ABS. It is a balanced choice for functional parts.

ABS filament — properties and applications
ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) is an engineering plastic with good heat and impact resistance, widely used in automotive and industrial applications.
View material → - ASA
ASA filament — properties and applications
ASA (acrylonitrile styrene acrylate) is a derivative of ABS with added UV and weather resistance. It is suitable for outdoor applications.
View material → - TPU (flexible)
TPU filament — how to print flexible parts
TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) is a flexible, abrasion-resistant filament. It is used for flexible parts where rigid plastics would crack.
View material → - Resin (SLA/DLP)
Resin (SLA/DLP) — properties and uses
Resin is a light-sensitive polymer cured layer by layer with a laser (SLA) or a projector/LCD (DLP). It is used for parts that need high surface quality and fine detail.
