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.
Looking to 3D print with stronger-than-metal PEEK polymer? Our updated guide covers the material and the best 3D printers for the job.
This new filament is the company's Jet Black TPU in evening wear because sometimes your RC tires, phone cases, and bendy little shock-absorbing bits deserve to feel like they’re walking a red carpet. The new Prusament PTU Galaxy Black filament keeps the serious stuff under the sparkle, including Prusa’s in-house production and tech specs, plus refill-friendly NFC-tagged spool, and costs $37.99/500g — a small price to pay for adding just enough bling to make your functional parts whisper, “I’m not like the other black filaments.”
If PETG feels too soft and ABS feels too fiddly, give PCTG a spin — it might just redefine what “easy, strong, and beautiful” means for your next print.
Fillamentum’s circular NonOilen filament expands with new colors that Fillamentum says keep the material’s reusability intact.
We've gathered the best TPU and other flexible filaments on the market so you can find the best flexible filament for your needs!

Send your 3D printed scrap to one of these services for a new life as recycled filament or useful plastic products.
Confused by filament choices? This updated guide breaks down each type — from everyday PLA to high-performance PEEK — so you can print smarter.
Tough, durable, and chemically resistant, this new glass-fiber reinforced TPU is a technical composite for demanding environmental and mechanical conditions, say Rosa3D. At a Shore hardness of 75D, it bends, but it'll take a lot to break.

We spent three months print-testing the new rePETG Loopfill to see if recycled waste can deliver the strength, clarity, and printability we expect from PETG.
Even plant-based PLA often marketed as "green" requires industrial composting facilities to truly decompose. This new material breaks down in ordinary landfills in under five years.
FDM 3D prints usually show layer lines. Learn about ABS acetone smoothing and how to get a totally smooth surface finish in four easy steps.
In a world with an ever-growing roster of filaments, it's not easy for them to stand out. One way to do it? Adding a splash of dramatic or witty flair with a goofy, eye-catching name.
Polish filament manufacturer Rosa3D has launched two new foaming filaments: PLA LW Aero and TPU Flex LW. Both rely on active foaming chemistry – a blowing agent embedded in the filament – to expand the extrusion at printing temperatures.
UK-based Filamentive has announced that its PLA and PLA Matte filaments are now EN 71-3 + A2:2024 compliant, certifying them safe regarding the leaching of regulated elements should they be ingested or come into contact with children.
The news also serves as a reminder that the devil is in the detail with such things. The raw material is certified safe, but prints from it (which introduce the variables of specific printing parameters, environment, geometry, etc.) aren't, unless independently tested. As a starting point though, hats off to them.
offering 20% off plus free shipping through the end of March. Great news for filament fans in Czechia, Germany, Poland, France, Spain, and the UK (UK store launching early March).
In addition to the benefit of quicker, local shipping, buying direct gives you the chance to earn savings through the company’s PolyCoins reward scheme and, crucially, save big in the Restock Day sales, which typically see up to 35% off sitewide.
The grand opening discount stacks with Polymaker's bundle builder discount (I checked) so you can potentially save 35% already if you order 10 spools or more.
