Choosing the right material is the key to quality, durability, and precision.
At 3DFACTORY.EE, we use only reliable and modern materials suitable for different types of projects and operating conditions.
🟢 PLA (Polylactic Acid)
We recommend PLA for most products, as it’s an eco-friendly, precise, and stable material.
PLA is perfect for decorative elements, prototypes, models, and cases where high heat resistance isn’t required.
It provides a smooth surface finish, dimensional accuracy, and minimal shrinkage, making it the most versatile choice.
Advantages:
High accuracy and smooth finish
Eco-friendly (biodegradable)
Suitable for most home and design applications
Wide color selection
🔵 ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
ABS is used for small items that require increased strength and heat resistance.
It’s a durable engineering plastic commonly used in industry, electronics, and automotive parts.
Although more demanding to print, it offers excellent wear resistance and toughness.
Advantages:
High mechanical strength
Heat resistance
Great for functional parts
🟣 PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol)
PETG is a balanced material between PLA and ABS.
We use it for smaller parts that need more strength than PLA, especially where moderate mechanical loads or exposure to humidity and temperature are expected.
It combines durability, flexibility, and dimensional stability.
Advantages:
Stronger than PLA
Moisture and UV resistant
Flexible and impact-resistant
