A popular material among businesses investing in 3D printing is PLA, a biodegradable plastic with numerous other benefits. Learn more about the eco-friendly traits of PLA 3D printing filament so that you can see firsthand how this filament is helping shape a more sustainable world.

Want to get into Extreme 3D Printing?  OK, maybe that’s a bit extreme. But perhaps you are considering a complex project that requires different materials. This may lead you to ask: “Can I use two different 3D printer filaments in one build?”

In 3D printing one can claim, “There’s a filament for that.” and be accurate about 90% of the time.  Certainly, one of the more unique filaments in the 3D space frequented by mortals (those with printers costing less than a used car) is thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), a flexible and strong material.

While many filaments can be recycled, such as PLA, many have questions about less common fibers. For instance, can you recycle PETG 3D printer filament? Let’s look at the answer to that question and learn how to become more environmentally friendly with your 3D printing practices.

In the vast cosmos of 3D printing, a star material known as nylon glass filament exists. This filament is renowned for its strength and stiffness. But could this superstar of 3D printing also have a secret talent for reincarnation?
