Colour Palette of FDM/FFF Filament Prints
Among the various methods of 3D printing, Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) stands as a pillar of versatility; enabling hobbyists, engineers, and designers to bring their concepts to life. FDM 3D printing uses spools of plastic as the building material. As part of the process, filament is fed into the printer, which heats the plastic and re-extrudes along a precise path.
This is a compilation of the range of colour filaments that are currently available. We will continue to expand it as we work with new filaments. Please note, not all colours are in stock, if we don’t have the colour you’d like in stock, we can order it in.

PLA Plastic
PLA is the most common filament used with FDM 3D printing. It is an easy filament to fabricate with, producing reliable and clean results. PLA plastic is ideal for rapid prototyping and most indoor cases. PLA can have a gloss and matte finish.

PETG Plastic
PETG is a highly versatile and robust plastic. PETG plastic offers good temperature and UV resistance, making it suitable for outdoor use. PETG 3D prints have a gloss finish.
Other Plastics
Other types of filament will offer different forms of durability and print finish, depending on the material properties. Find out more about other FDM filaments and their material properties in the knowledge article TYPES OF FDM/FFF FILAMENTS.
