Materials for 3D printing
PLA
PLA is one of the most popular materials for 3D printing thanks to its versatility and broad range of uses. It is ideal for projects where high strength or temperature resistance is not critical
PLA Basic
Standard PLA in a wide range of colors, perfect for creative and colorful designs
PLA Matte
Offers a smooth, matte finish for a more refined look
PLA Pure
PLA with just five ingredients, all certified to food-contact standards and with low emissions while printing
PLA Tough+
Tough PLA with ABS-like impact resistance and up to twice the layer adhesion of standard PLA
PLA Glow
Glows in the dark after exposure to light, giving a fun or functional effect
PLA Marble
Mimics marble for a stone-like appearance
PLA Aero
A lightweight variant of PLA, optimized to reduce weight in applications where mass is a factor
PLA CF
PLA reinforced with carbon fiber for increased strength and stiffness
PLA Sparkle
Contains glittering particles for a shimmering effect
PLA Metal
Gives a metallic look and feel, simulating the appearance of metal
PLA Wood
Mimics the look and feel of wood, perfect for naturalistic designs
PLA Silk
Offers a smooth, glossy finish reminiscent of silk fabric
PLA Silk Multi-Color
Silky PLA where several colors blend within the same strand, giving high-gloss gradients
PLA Translucent
Frosted, semi-translucent PLA that diffuses light beautifully and resembles hand-blown frosted glass
PETG
PETG is a durable material that offers better impact resistance and temperature resistance than PLA. It is an excellent choice for functional parts that need to withstand moderate load or higher temperatures
PETG Basic
Upgraded PETG with PLA-level strength and retained toughness, Bambu's successor to PETG HF
PETG HF
Standard PETG in various colors, balancing strength and ease of use
PETG Transparent
Translucent material that lets light through for aesthetic or functional purposes
PETG CF
PETG reinforced with carbon fiber for increased strength and stiffness
ABS
ABS is a technical material with high heat resistance and good impact strength. It suits functional parts that need to withstand more heat than PLA and PETG, and can be smoothed with acetone for a glossy finish
ABS
Technical ABS with high heat resistance and impact strength, engineered to reduce warping
ASA
ASA is known for its excellent UV resistance, making it ideal for outdoor applications where exposure to sunlight is a factor
ASA
Standard ASA with good weather resistance and mechanical properties
ASA Aero
Optimized for lightweight or aerodynamic applications, with properties similar to standard ASA
ASA CF
ASA reinforced with carbon fiber for increased strength and stiffness
TPU
TPU is a flexible material available in various hardness grades, measured on the Shore A scale. Lower numbers indicate softer, more flexible materials
TPU 85A
Highly flexible, similar to a rubber band
TPU 90A
Medium flexibility, similar to a tire tread
TPU 95A
Less flexible, more rigid, similar to hard rubber
PC
PC is a high-strength material known for its excellent impact resistance and temperature resistance, making it suitable for demanding applications
PC
Standard polycarbonate with high toughness and heat resistance
PC FR
Flame-retardant version of PC, important for applications where fire safety is a factor
PA / PPA
These materials are designed for extreme conditions and offer superior strength, temperature resistance and chemical resistance. They are often reinforced with carbon fiber or glass fiber for improved performance
PA6 CF
Nylon 6 reinforced with carbon fiber for exceptional strength and stiffness
PA6 GF
Nylon 6 reinforced with glass fiber, offering a balance between strength and cost-effectiveness
PAHT CF
High-temperature nylon reinforced with carbon fiber for superior performance in hot environments
PET CF
PET reinforced with carbon fiber, offering excellent chemical resistance and strength
PPA CF
An ultra-high-performance material for the most demanding applications, with exceptional strength and temperature resistance
