3D printer filaments
What are 3D Printer Filaments?
Thefilaments for 3D printersThey are thermoplastic materials that are used as "ink" in the3D printingThese filaments are melted and extruded through a heated nozzle to create three-dimensional objects layer by layer. In our store, we offer a variety offilamentsto meet all your printing needs, with an excellent price-performance ratio, a wide range of colors, and different mechanical properties.
Types of Filaments for 3D Printers
Explore our selection of filaments and find the perfect type for your 3D printer:
PLA filament
Description:Polylactic acid (PLA) is one of the most popular filaments due to its ease of use. This material is derived from natural resources such as corn starch and sugarcane, which represents an advantage of PLA filament over other, more polluting materials.
Characteristics: Biodegradable, low melting temperature, low shrinkage.
Uses: Prototypes, toys, decorative figures, objects with a variety of colors.
Uses: Prototypes, toys, decorative figures.
Availability:See PLA Filaments
PETG filament
DescriptionPolyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) combines the best properties of PLA and ABS. PETG is a material that stands out for its mechanical strength and transparency.
Characteristics: Chemical resistance, good durability, easy to print.
Uses: Food containers, mechanical components, impact resistant products.
Availability:See PETG Filaments
TPU filament
DescriptionThermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is a flexible and elastic filament, ideal for applications that require a certain flexibility and resistance.
Characteristics: Flexibility, high wear resistance, good elasticity.
UsesFlexible prototypes, protective housings, elastic components, printed parts that need to bend or absorb impacts.
Availability:See TPU Filaments
Industrial Filaments
Description:High-performance filaments designed to work in specific applications where special properties such as high mechanical strength or resistance to high temperatures are required.
Characteristics:These filaments have different characteristics depending on the application for which they are intended.
Uses:spare parts for industry, final product.
Availability:See Industrial Filaments
How to Choose the Right Filament
Selecting the right filament depends on several factors, including the type of project, the required material characteristics, and the 3D printer being used. Here are some tips:
Project and Final Use: Determine the purpose of the printed object. For decorative objects or prototypes, PLA filament for 3D printers is ideal due to its variety of colors and ease of use. For functional parts or those requiring greater mechanical strength, consider using PETG or industrial filaments.
Mechanical PropertiesIf you need impact resistance, flexibility, or heat resistance, choose filaments like PETG or TPU. Printing speed should also be adjusted to the characteristics of the chosen filament to avoid defects in the printed part.
Printer CompatibilityCheck your 3D printer's specifications, including the recommended printing temperature and whether it requires a heated bed. Some filaments, like PLA, don't require a heated bed, while others, like PETG, benefit from a higher bed temperature for better adhesion.
