PLA

(Polylactic Acid)

PLA : Black

PLA : White

PLA : Grey

PLA : Red

PLA : Blue

PLA : Neon Green

PLA : Yellow

PLA : Orange

PLA : Purple

PLA : Sky Blue

PLA : Marble

• Description: PLA is made from renewable resources like corn or sugarcane, so it’s often seen as more eco-friendly. It’s rigid and prints with sharp detail. Strong yet brittle (it snaps instead of bending) softens under moderate heat — it can soften in a hot car.

• Everyday comparison: Similar to the material used in compostable utensils or packaging.

• Common uses: Display models, figurines, prototypes, or low-stress household items where looks matter more than toughness.

PETG

(Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol)

PETG : Black

PETG : White

PETG: Grey

• Description: PETG is basically the “tougher cousin” of PLA. It’s stronger, more impact-resistant, and less brittle, with just enough flexibility that it bends instead of shattering. It also resists water and many chemicals, which makes it more durable.

• Everyday comparison: Similar to a reusable water bottle or the clear plastic packaging around electronics.

• Common uses: Food containers, outdoor parts, mechanical components, or protective casings that need to survive wear and tear.

ABS

(Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)

ABS : NONE

• Description: ABS is a strong, durable plastic that can handle higher heat than PLA or PETG. It’s widely used in consumer products because it combines toughness with the ability to be machined, glued, or smoothed after shaping.

• Everyday comparison: LEGO bricks, car dashboard plastics, or sturdy tool handles are made from ABS.

• Common uses: Functional prototypes, toys, automotive parts, electronics housings, or anything that needs to endure stress and heat.

TPU

(Thermoplastic Polyurethane)

TPU : NONE

• Description: TPU is a flexible, rubbery material that can stretch and bend without breaking. It’s resistant to abrasion, oils, and impacts, which makes it great for parts that need to flex or absorb shocks. Because it’s soft, it’s harder to shape with precision.

• Everyday comparison: Like the rubber in phone cases, shoe soles, or skateboard wheels.

• Common uses: Phone cases, gaskets, wheels, hinges, wearables, or anything that benefits from elasticity and cushioning.
