PLA

The recommended 3D printing filament for beginners

PLA (Polylactide) is a non-toxic, bio-based industrial thermoplastic that is 100% bio-degradable. It notable for being easy to print with, durable, and relatively strong, making it one of the most user-friendly 3D printing filaments available on the market. And as such, it is the filament most recommended for people who are new to 3D printing. Additionally, this ease-of-use makes it ideal to create 3D printed parts for design, prototyping, and jigs and fixtures.

  • Easy to print with excellent surface finish
  • Wide range of colour options
  • High stiffness and strength
  • Biodegradable and environmentally friendly

PVA filament

PVA

The ideal filament for support structures

PVA (Polyvinyl alcohol) is a cold-water-soluble 3D printing filament with strong adhesion, particularly with PLA, PETG, and TPU filaments. Its strong adhesion makes it an ideal support material for various filaments. Support material is usually necessary for printing models with complex geometry. The PVA support will dissolve in a water bath leaving behind a smooth 3D printed part.

  • Ideal support material for 3D printing, for PLA, PETG, TPU, etc.
  • Excellent water solubility
  • Good stability during printing
  • Smooth interface with support area
  • Great for designs with complex geometry and cavities
