We help designers, startups and OEMs develop custom 3D printing filaments that match your exact mechanical, aesthetic and sustainability requirements.
At ColorFabb, we combine material science, application know-how and in-house production to turn your ideas into reliable, scalable filament solutions. From first prototype to series production, our B2B development team works alongside your engineers to create filaments that perform in real-world conditions.
We do what we do best: helping you choose the right filament from our portfolio – or developing a new, application-specific material when existing solutions are not enough.
We co-develop custom filaments for demanding applications. In our Innovation Playground you work directly with our R&D team to test new polymers, additives and processing settings – until we achieve the performance and printability your product needs.

Sustainability is built into our development process. We offer biobased, biodegradable and recycled filaments – and can help you design materials that lower CO₂ impact while still meeting your technical and aesthetic specifications.
Develop sustainable filaments >Every project is different, but our approach is structured and transparent:
We love projects that challenge the limits of existing filaments. Whether you need lighter parts, higher heat resistance, better flexibility or a specific surface look, our team helps you translate functional requirements into a robust filament solution that you can rely on in production.
Discuss your projectShare a few details about your project and our B2B development team will contact you to discuss possibilities, timelines and next steps.
We will only use your details to respond to your request and will never share them with third parties.
It depends on the complexity of the material, but most projects start with lab and pilot batches followed by a minimum annual volume. Contact us with your requirements so we can advise realistic quantities and pricing.
In many cases we can formulate a filament with comparable mechanical properties and appearance, or we can propose an improved alternative. For colors, we work with RAL and custom color matching, including brand-specific shades.
Simple adaptations of existing filaments can be ready in a few weeks. Completely new formulations with validation and scale-up can take several months, depending on testing and regulatory requirements.
Yes. We provide recommended print profiles and work with your engineers to optimize settings on your specific 3D printers and production set-up.
Absolutely. We can explore options such as biobased feedstocks, recycled content and lower-temperature processing while keeping performance and printability in balance.
