The most common filament, easy to print.
PLA is the reference filament for 3D printing. It prints easily, adheres well and gives beautiful surface finishes. Ideal for decorative projects, prototypes and figurines.
✅ Strengths
- Very easy to print
- Beautiful surface finish
- Wide color selection
- Affordable price
⚠️ Limitations
- Heat sensitive (>60°C)
- Brittle under mechanical stress

Velvety matte finish, hides layer lines.
PLA Matte is a modified PLA that produces a matte, soft-to-touch surface. It naturally conceals layer lines and delivers a premium look without post-processing. Ideal for figurines, statues and high-end decorative objects.
✅ Strengths
- Exceptional matte finish
- Hides layer lines
- Soft, velvety feel
- Same print ease as standard PLA
⚠️ Limitations
- Heat sensitive (>60°C)
- Less impact-resistant than PLA+
🎯 Use cases

Glossy satin finish, vivid colors, premium effect.
PLA Silk+ is a PLA enriched with additives giving it a very distinctive silky, glossy appearance. Colors appear deeper and change with the light. Perfect for decorative objects, display figurines and gifts.
✅ Strengths
- Exceptional glossy finish
- Rich, shimmering colors
- Same print ease as standard PLA
- Premium effect without post-processing
⚠️ Limitations
- Less mechanically strong than PLA+
- Not suited for functional parts

Heat and impact resistant — ideal for technical parts.
PETG combines the ease of PLA with the resilience of ABS. It handles heat and moisture well, making it an excellent choice for functional parts and light outdoor applications.
✅ Strengths
- Heat resistant (up to 80°C)
- Impact resistant
- Semi-flexible
- Good UV resistance
⚠️ Limitations
- Slightly rougher surface
- Can be a little elastic

Carbon fibre reinforced PETG — rigid and ultra-light.
PETG-CF integrates micro carbon fibres into a PETG matrix. The result: stiffness well above standard PETG, a slightly textured surface and a highly technical premium finish. Ideal for parts that need to be both light and strong.
✅ Strengths
- Very high rigidity
- Lighter than standard PETG
- Technical/carbon look
- Good thermal resistance
⚠️ Limitations
- Abrasive for standard nozzles (hardened steel nozzle recommended)
- Less flexible than PETG

Very strong, handles heat well — for mechanical parts.
ABS is a highly resistant technical filament used in industry. It handles high temperatures and can be post-processed (sanded, painted, glued). More demanding to print, it requires a controlled environment.
✅ Strengths
- High thermal resistance (~95°C)
- Very mechanically strong
- Machinable and sandable
- Acetone smoothing possible
⚠️ Limitations
- More demanding to print
- Can warp
- Emits fumes

Like ABS but UV-resistant — perfect for outdoor use.
ASA is specially formulated to resist UV, rain and temperature changes. It's the ideal choice for all durable outdoor applications. Colors remain stable over time.
✅ Strengths
- Excellent UV resistance
- Weather-proof
- Long-lasting stable colors
- Good thermal resistance
⚠️ Limitations
- More demanding to print than PLA
- Higher price

Flexible and elastic — ideal for cases, gaskets, accessories.
TPU is a thermoplastic elastomer: flexible, impact- and abrasion-resistant. It bounces back and recovers its original shape. Perfect for anything that needs to be soft or shock-absorbing.
✅ Strengths
- Very flexible and elastic
- Impact and abrasion resistant
- Oil resistant
- Long service life
⚠️ Limitations
- Slower print speed required
- Not suited for rigid parts
