PLA
The most precise material with the best finish in FDM — and the least heat-tolerant.
HDT ~55 °C Tensile 40–60 MPa
Technical guide · FDM
Materials for functional parts.
Properties, uses and limits of every material Morph3D produces with, so you can choose well before quoting. Four are kept in stock; nine engineering composites with carbon or glass fibre are produced on request, with a minimum volume.
In stock
PLA, PETG, ABS and TPU 95A. Typical reference values.
PETG
The "workhorse" for production parts: tough, chemical resistant, no shrinkage.
HDT ~70 °C Tensile 40–50 MPa
ABS
The classic engineering plastic: withstands heat and impact, accepts post-processing.
HDT 85–95 °C Tensile 30–40 MPa
TPU 95A
Flexible like hard rubber, resistant to abrasion, tearing and oil.
Shore 95A Elongation > 300 %
Engineering: carbon fibre
On request, with a minimum volume. Values from the official Bambu Lab data sheet.
PETG-CF
Stiffer than regular PETG, warps little and has a matte finish that hides the layers. The easiest of the family to produce.
HDT 74 °C Tensile XY 35 MPa
ASA-CF
ASA with carbon fibre, made for the weather: high resistance to UV and rain, stiffer and more dimensionally stable than ASA.
HDT 110 °C Tensile XY 34 MPa
PA6-CF
Very stiff and strong in dry environments, with good heat and impact resistance.
HDT 186 °C Tensile XY 102 MPa
PAHT-CF
Better interlayer adhesion, keeps its properties even when wet and is the toughest of the family.
HDT 194 °C Tensile XY 92 MPa
PET-CF
HDT above 200 °C with very low moisture absorption: stiff and stable in hot, humid environments.
HDT 205 °C Tensile XY 74 MPa
PPA-CF
The stiffest and strongest on the list: 168 MPa tensile strength and an 11.8 GPa tensile (Young’s) modulus.
HDT 227 °C Tensile XY 168 MPa
PPS-CF
Top of the list for temperature and chemicals: resists acids, alkalis, solvents and oils, and is self-extinguishing.
HDT 264 °C Tensile XY 87 MPa
Engineering: glass fibre
On request, with a minimum volume. Values from the official Bambu Lab data sheet.
Which material for which part.
Start with the requirement that rules the part. If none of them applies, PETG or ABS probably solve it, and the part comes out cheaper and faster.
