About The Materials We Use....
At CD3D-UK all products are made using Bambu Lab filament. It is designed to work especially well with the Bambu printers and the AMS (Automatic Material System). The big advantages are:
* RFID tags on official spools automatically identify the material and color in the AMS.
* Wide range of materials from beginner PLA to engineering-grade carbon-fiber blends.
The main filament types used are:
PLA
Best for, models, toys, classroom projects, and decorative prints.
* Easy to print
* Minimal warping
* Fast printing speeds
* Lower heat resistance
Bambu’s PLA is especially popular because it prints cleanly and works very reliably with the AMS.
PETG / PETG HF
Good balance between easy printing and durability.
* Stronger than PLA
* Better heat resistance
* More flexible and impact resistant
* Good for functional parts and outdoor use
PETG HF is Bambu’s faster-printing PETG variant.
ABS / ASA
For stronger engineering-style parts.
* Higher heat resistance
* Tougher material
* Better for mechanical parts
Different materials are designed for different requirements, so matching the filament to the job helps to get better print quality, strength, durability, and reliability. This ensures you receive an high quality product.
