High-quality 3D printing materials: the complete guide to filaments and resins
Unlock the full potential of your machine with our curated selection of high-performance consumables. Whether you are using a filament printer (FDM) to build durable mechanical parts or a resin printer (SLA/DLP) to achieve intricate, high-detail models, we provide the industrial-grade materials you need for a successful build.
Choosing the right material is the most critical step in the 3D printing process. Whether you are a hobbyist working from a home workshop or a professional engineer producing functional prototypes, the quality of your consumables directly impacts your success rate and part strength. We provide an extensive range of materials tailored for both filament printers (FDM) and resin printers to ensure you get the best results every time you press print.
Reliable supplies for your filament printer
Filament-based printing remains the most popular choice for creating functional, durable, and large-scale objects. However, not all FDM (fused deposition modelling) materials are created equal. We source filaments with tight diameter tolerances to prevent clogging and ensure smooth extrusion.
- PLA (polylactic acid): The go-to choice for almost every filament printer owner. PLA is biodegradable, easy to print, and available in a massive spectrum of colours. It is ideal for decorative models, prototypes, and educational projects.
- PETG: Combining the ease of PLA with the strength of ABS, PETG is the perfect middle ground. It offers excellent chemical resistance and is often used for mechanical parts that require a bit of flexibility and heat resistance.
- ABS and ASA: For parts that need to withstand the elements or high temperatures, our ABS and ASA filaments provide industrial-grade durability. ASA, in particular, is highly UV-resistant, making it perfect for outdoor applications.
- Flex and TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane): For parts that need to bend, stretch, or absorb impact, our flexible filaments are the industry standard. TPU is perfect for gaskets, seals, phone cases, and wearable parts, offering high abrasion resistance and elastic properties.
- PVA and support materials: Achieve complex geometries with ease using PVA (polyvinyl alcohol). This water-soluble filament is used in dual-extrusion printers to create supports that simply dissolve away in a tray of water, leaving your main print with a flawless surface finish.
- PC (polycarbonate): One of the strongest materials available for filament printers. PC filament is prized for its incredible impact resistance and heat deflection, making it the top choice for structural, high-temperature engineering components.
- HIPS (high impact polystyrene): Often used as a dissolvable support material for ABS (using Limonene), HIPS is also an excellent standalone filament. It is lightweight, easy to paint, and offers great dimensional stability for large-scale models.
- Specialty and aesthetic filaments: Elevate your projects with our unique range of materials. From carbon fibre-infused filaments for maximum stiffness to wood-fill and silk finishes for a premium aesthetic, we have the right texture for every design.
Precision resins for SLA and DLP printing
For those demanding extreme precision and smooth surface finishes, our 3D printing resins deliver. We offer a variety of formulations, including standard resins for rapid prototyping, tough resins for functional testing, and water-washable resins for easier clean-up. Compatible with a wide range of resin printers, our UV-curing photopolymers ensure crisp details and minimal shrinkage.
- Standard and rapid resins: Designed for speed and crisp detail, these are perfect for miniatures, tabletop gaming figures, and general prototyping.
- Tough and engineering resins: Need a part that can take a hit? Our tough resins are engineered to mimic the properties of ABS, providing high impact resistance for functional components and enclosures.
- Medical and biocompatible resins: We offer specialist medical-grade resins designed for applications requiring contact with the skin or mucous membranes. These materials are essential for producing surgical guides, anatomical models, and hearing aids. If you are working in the healthcare or dental sectors, our biocompatible resins provide the safety and precision required for patient-specific solutions.
- Castable and dental resins: We also cater to specialist industries, offering high-purity castable resins for jewellery makers and biocompatible-capable resins for dental modelling.
