Bumps, scrapes, and falls won’t damage these tough filaments. Known for their durability, they absorb impact without cracking or breaking, and won’t degrade when heated. Use them to print tool handles, storage cases, and other parts that are handled or dropped frequently.
Use with a fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printer. These filaments have a high melting point, and must be printed onto a heated bed. Without it, parts will cool too quickly and warp. These filaments also release fumes as they are printed, so use an enclosed printer or a fume exhauster to ventilate them. When printing a filament with a filler, it’s recommended that you use a hardened steel nozzle. Since the filler makes them abrasive, they will wear out copper and brass nozzles.
ASA filaments are the best choice for outdoor-use parts. Unlike other filaments, which warp and crack with prolonged sun exposure, parts made from ASA are UV resistant.
Tensile strength is the best measure of a filament's overall strength. Similar to the stress applied on a rope during a game of tug-of-war, it's the amount of pulling force a material can handle before breaking. A higher rating means a stronger filament. A tensile strength of 5,000 psi and above is considered good; 12,000 psi and above is excellent.
Maximum exposure temperature is the point at which a printed part will begin to deform. Above this temperature, your printed parts will start to lose structural integrity.

Stretchy, soft, and sturdy, these filaments make durable parts that resist wear and breakage despite repeated use. Stronger than ABS and PLA filaments, they create long-lasting, wear-resistant parts, such as seals, sleeves, and gaskets, as well as components that take on high-impact forces, such as springs and snap-fit parts.
These filaments don't require a heated printer bed, and they won't shrink or warp when cooling. Use them with a fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printer. In general, these flexible filaments require a slow feed rate so they don't jam. Store them in a sealed container with a desiccant, or use a dehumidifying cabinet, since ambient humidity will cause the plastic to degrade and weaken.
Durometer 75D TPU filaments make tough, durable parts that act similar to a tire tread—flexing repeatedly without cracking.

Form pliable parts that divert electrostatic charges in a controlled way, protecting electronic equipment from damage. Made of soft TPU plastic with an added static dissipative compound, these filaments are used to create gaskets, springs, grippers, and snap-fit parts that will be used around sensitive electronics. TPU is durable and withstands stresses that materials such as ABS and PLA cannot. It doesn’t require a heated printer bed, and is less prone to shrinking and warping as it cools.
These filaments are designed for use with fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printers. They print best at a slow, consistent feed rate because they're flexible. If you use a high feed rate, they could jam. Store these filaments in a dehumidifying cabinet or other sealed container with desiccant inside so they don’t absorb moisture.
All meet ANSI/ESD and IEC standards for manufacturing, packaging, transporting, and storing items that can be damaged from electrostatic discharges.
Use an electrical resistance tester to make sure your part meets proper resistivity levels. In general, the target surface resistivity for static-dissipative parts is 106 to 108 ohms. To adjust the resistivity, change the temperature of your printer's extruder. As the extruder's temperature increases, so will the printed part's resistivity.

Parts made with these filaments remain strong and rigid in temperatures that would soften most plastics. They are a lightweight alternative to machined metal parts. Use with a fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printer to make parts that will be used near ovens, engines, and other hot machinery. These filaments require an all-metal extruder to reach the recommended printing temperatures. Print parts onto a heated bed to keep them from warping as they cool.
PVDF, also known as Kynar, is the most wear-resistant high-temperature material. Parts made from these filaments also hold up when exposed to UV rays.

Not only do parts printed from these filaments protect sensitive electronics, but they also hold their shape in temperatures that would deform or degrade most plastic. Use them to make parts for hot environments, such as engines, ovens, or lighting equipment. These filaments combine heat-tolerant plastic with a static-dissipative material that keeps static from building up and prevents shocks.
Use these filaments with a fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printer. They require an all-metal extruder to reach the recommended printing temperatures, and should be printed onto a heated bed to keep parts from warping as they cool.
PVDF, also known as Kynar, is extremely wear resistant and holds up when exposed to UV rays.
Use an electrical resistance tester to make sure printed parts meet proper resistivity levels. In general, the target surface resistivity for PVDF is 106 to 109 ohms, and for PEI and PEKK it's 106 to 107 ohms. To adjust your measurements, change the temperature of your printer's extruder. As the extruder's temperature increases, so will the printed part's resistivity.
