3D Printing Filaments

MG Chemicals’ 3D printing filaments are high-quality products that will produce high-quality results. Applications for these include 3D printing, maker or hobbyist projects, classroom training, and prototyping.

The acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) 3D printing filaments are made of high purity ABS pellets. They resist higher temperatures and offer great machinability, flexibility, and strength making them the preferred choice of engineers and professionals.

The polylactic acid or polylactide (PLA) 3D printing filaments are a corn-based product made from high purity, high-temperature pellets. They do not require a heated print bed and easily adhere to masking tapes. These filaments are very hard, acetone resistant, and can achieve faster print speeds and lower layer heights when properly used. They release a mild, non-offensive sweet smell when heated and are the optimal choice for use in homes, schools, and maker/hobbyist workshops or studios.

The polyethylene terephthalate glycol-modified (PETG) 3D printing filaments are a high strength thermoplastic with excellent moisture and chemical resistance. They are easy to use because of their low shrinkage properties and are excellent for applications where strong prints are desired. They are widely used in mechanical parts fabrication and robotics.
