What is 3d printing?

3D printing — also called additive manufacturing — is a process that turns digital designs into real, physical objects. Instead of cutting or carving material away, a 3D printer builds objects layer by layer from the bottom up, using materials like plastic filament.

PLA Filament

PLA (polylactic acid) is one of the most common 3D printing materials. It's made from plant-based starches like corn or sugarcane, making it an eco-friendly option. It's easy to print with and produces great detail — perfect for decorative items and desk accessories.

PETG Filament

PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) is a step up in durability. It's tougher and more flexible than PLA, handles heat better, and holds up well under stress. Think of it as the middle ground between PLA and ABS — strong enough for functional parts, easy enough for everyday printing.

Durability & Strength

PETG is more impact-resistant and temperature-resistant than PLA, making it a great choice for parts that need to handle some wear and tear.
