What your process engineer actually checks

Dry, stable melt, big-part ready

Every batch ships with a datasheet covering melt flow, moisture, recycled content, and recommended drying and extrusion parameters, so large-format prints stay dimensionally stable. Dial the line in once, reorder the same pellet.

A materials engineer on the line

Questions on drying schedules, melt flow, recyclate ratios, warpage, or fiber content? A materials engineer answers directly — not a contact-form bot. Most replies in under 4 hours, NDA standard.

About this product

A very easy-to-process biobased material that comes in a natural shade (transparent with milky hues) and can be easily customized in color. It is extensively used for in-door furniture and design-related elements and can be printed in its recycled and biobased versions too.

Don't see your pellet?

We source and qualify. Custom blends on request.

Need a fiber-filled, recycled-content, or color-matched pellet, or parameters for a system we don't list yet? Our materials team qualifies the blend and prints test parts before you commit. Typical lead 2–4 weeks.

★★★★★ 4.9 / 5 · 24 reviews
★★★★★

Drying and extrusion parameters were spot on. A 1.5 m part came off dimensionally stable.

★★★★★

Asked about recycled-content limits for a structural part. A materials engineer gave us real numbers.

★★★★★

Melt is consistent batch to batch. Big-format builds repeat without re-tuning.
