Materials guide
We 3D print custom orders in PLA, PETG, ASA and TPU. Here is how they differ in strength, heat resistance, outdoor use and flexibility, and what each one is best for.
The default for indoor objects: crisp detail, a matte finish and the widest colour range.
Good for
Colours: Black, White, Sand, Orange
PLA 3D printing quote →Tougher than PLA and fine around water and warmth. Choose it for parts that get used hard.
Good for
Colours: Black, White
PETG 3D printing quote →Built for outdoors: UV-stable and heat-resistant, so it won't yellow or go brittle in the sun.
Good for
Colours: Black, White
ASA 3D printing quote →Flexible and grippy, like rubber. For anything that needs to bend, cushion or seal.
Good for
Colours: Black, White
TPU 3D printing quote →PLA for indoor and decorative objects: it holds fine detail and comes in the most colours. PETG for functional parts that need to be tougher and cope with water and warmth.
ASA. It is UV-stable and heat-resistant, so it won't yellow or go brittle in the sun the way PLA can.
TPU, a rubber-like material for grips, bumpers, cases, straps and seals.
We don't recommend direct food contact: fine layer lines can trap residue. Our pet bowl, for example, uses a stainless steel insert for food and water.
