ABS is a 3D printing classic for good reason: It’s tough, heat-resistant, affordable, and easy to smooth, paint, and drill. But with easier-to-print alternatives now available, when is ABS still the right choice?
Confused by filament choices? This updated guide breaks down each type — from everyday PLA to high-performance PEEK — so you can print smarter.
PET and PETG share nearly the same name, but that one letter — the "G" — changes how PETG prints. Here's why.

eSun's new PLA-Coffee turns used coffee grounds into a filament that smells like freshly brewed coffee when you print.
Heidelberg University researchers developed a 3D printing resin that a chemical trigger can break down into its molecular building blocks within seconds at room temperature, allowing the material to be remade into polymer and reused. The recycled material retained the original’s molecular composition and properties, pointing to a possible future where your high-resolution resin prints could be recycled into new printable material instead of discarded.
The new polymer formulations target two familiar material headaches: moisture-sensitive PETG and brittle silk PLA.

Drying filament is important, but drying filament properly is even more important. Learn the science behind what moisture and drying does to polymer filament to get your drying perfect every time.
New U.S. and EU rules are closing in on vague biodegradability claims, and could change how PLA filament and the resulting products are marketed to consumers.
Now available in Translucent Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, White, Black, plus Transparent Smoke Black, 3D-Fuel’s new Pro PCTG colors offer a tougher-than-PETG-prints-like-PLA spin on FullSpectrum color prints for realistic color mixing.
For users seeking flame-retardant nylon without a closed printer ecosystem, 3DXTech is building a library of tested slicer profiles to simplify setup across more machines.
Prusa’s castor oil-derived PA11 filament combines unusually strong interlayer adhesion with low friction, impact resistance, and the durability needed for demanding moving parts.
The new material boasts impressive fatigue, strength and temperature resistance, says Polymaker, with all of the easy printability of PLA.
Expand your printing horizon with polycarbonate filaments, a strong and heat-resistant material to create durable parts.
Hembased says its plant-based FDM material is designed to break down in open-air compost, yet scientific analysis and certification details remain unclear.
Stop treating PETG as simply “stronger PLA.” Discover which projects benefit from its toughness, weather resistance, and slight flexibility, and which are better printed with another material.
Carbon fiber filament is a tough material with a nice matte finish. Check out the best carbon fiber filament brands on the market!
Don’t fry your Raspberry Pi or other sensitive electronics: Learn when to use ESD-safe filament for static protection and when conductive filament is appropriate for sensors, controls, and low-current circuits.
New five-color series of high speed PLA filament suitable for the company’s CHT Nextruder nozzles boasts up to 40% print time gains in the right conditions, the company says.
Despite being acquired twice in the past 14 months, the company is still innovating and releasing new products, specifically, four new cheerful colors of its signature Onyx GF, a chopped glass fiber-filled nylon exclusively for its FX-series industrial 3D printers. Designed for color-coded tooling, fixtures, and safety indicators, the material embeds color directly into the filament so there's no more painting or labeling. Onyx GF also comes in new white and grey. We're excited to see Markforged in the capable hands of Stratasys with that deal officially closing soon.
Stop wasting time and material, discover exactly which projects demand the flexibility of TPU and which are better off with traditional filaments.
Bambu Lab's low-emission, five-ingredient formula promises cleaner home 3D printing, but important safety caveats remain for your actual prints.
