Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)
3D Printing Technology

PLA is Makelab’s most basic prototyping plastic, it’s great for low cost prototyping and color options. This material has your traditional 3D printed layer lines, so be sure to keep this in mind if you need anything for visuals and aesthetics. It’s a great material if you’re on a time crunch, we can turnaround PLA prints in as little as next business day!

PETG is great for printing functional parts with a low budget. Consider PETG for any prints that will need to undergo impact. It’s also great for parts that need to have some flexibility, with high elongation percentages, this material allows for bending before it deforms and snaps.

ASA is best known for its high impact strength and chemical resistance. This material is great for parts that will need to live outside undergoing the elements, ASA is both UV and water resistant. It’s also great for parts that need to remain strong in the presence of harsh chemicals.
