HOW TO KEEP YOUR RC PLANE IN THE AIR
REDUCE WEIGHT WITH LIGHTWEIGHT PLA 3D PRINTING FILAMENT
Lightweight PLA is the first filament of its kind: a 3D printing filament using active foaming technology to achieve lightweight, low-density printed parts. At around 230°C (446°F) LW-PLA starts foaming and it increases its volume by nearly 3 times.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW WHEN USING OUR LIGHTWEIGHT PLA
DECREASE YOUR MATERIAL FLOW
By decreasing the material flow by 60% you can achieve lightweight parts.
PRINT BIG LAYER HEIGHTS
You can also use the expanding properties to reduce print time by printing big layer heights or extra thick materials. Fine tuning and optimization is required to make the most of your LW-PLA use.
TEMPERATURE, SPEED AND FLOW
Assuming nozzle size and layer height are fixed, our main input variables are temperature, speed and flow to determine the amount of expansion.

MODEL TRAINS AND TABLE TOP GAMES, YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL!
FROM VISION TO REALITY.
From model trains, trams and cars, to tanks, props and scale model houses, you can create your dream environment using 3D printing
Many hobbyists, gamers and scale modelers are starting to take an interest in 3D printing. 3D printing can be a time saving and fun way to create an object, such as a scale model house for your miniature railway build or custom-made model train, that works just like the real thing!
Want to take things a step further? We'll show you how Chris applied 3D printing in spacecraft scale modeling. And give you an idea as to what filaments might work well for your projects.
So, if you are looking to build your own tiny world filled with trains, houses and all things miniature, build giant scale models, or simply want to visually upgrade your Friday night table top games, we'll show you why 3D printing is the way to go beyond limits and utilize your creativeness!

Turn your highly respected architectural design into your personal 3D design
VISUALIZE YOUR DISTINGUISHED ARCHITECTURAL MODEL WITH DEDICATED 3D PRINTING FILAMENTS
You have your 3D printer unpacked, plugged in and running but aren’t satisfied about your print results? You're an architect, an artist, a designer, but not a printer engineer, we understand that. And therefore we will support you with the required information, support and suitable filament.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT OUR FILAMENT SO YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
LOOKING FOR THAT SMOOTH SURFACE?
Honestly, there is no real stone or 'stone powder' in this filament. Why? Stone doesn't print very easy. The colorFabb stoneFill formulation has the advantage of offering a realistic stone look. This filament is easy to work with and a joy to print!
ANGLES AND CORNERS, NO PROBLEM!
stoneFill is a unique combination of fillers that creates a speckled surface finish on your 3D print. Top surfaces and wall surfaces blend into each
