Hembased says its plant-based FDM material is designed to break down in open-air compost, yet scientific analysis and certification details remain unclear.
Bambu Lab's low-emission, five-ingredient formula promises cleaner home 3D printing, but important safety caveats remain for your actual prints.
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.
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.
