This is the most common and traditional type of 3D printing, there is a large range of options of plastic filament to choose from, each with different properties to suit different applications.

Pla + is the most common type of filament,  it is food grade safe, cheap, strong, non toxic , gives a good printing surface finish, it is also eviromentaly friendly as it is plant based. Pla+ is made from renewable resources. unfortunately it is not suitable to higher temp enviroments as it has a low melting point. Pla+ is charged at 5c per gram.

PETG this is a recycled plastic that has great strength and flexability . PTEG is more suited to funcutional parts .  PETG is charged at 7c per gram

ABS is very strong and machinable, it is suited to smaller mechanical functional parts and has a high heat tolerance. ABS is charged at 7c per gram.

TPU is a super rubbery plastic and its extremley flexible, it is suited to parts that need to absorb impacts and it is virtualy indestructable.
