colorFabb special filaments
Innovation never stops at colorFabb. Our ever expanding range of special filaments have been industry leading for years. Some of them are for aesthetic purposes, others are pure functionality or for specific niche applications. Materials like woodFill, bronzeFill, XT-CF20, LW-PLA, varioShore TPU and DPA-100 support filament were developed in-house and have been successes ever since. By listening to our customers’ needs and forging strategic partnerships with material OEMs we are able to innovate continuously and bring FDM/FFF 3D printing to the next level.
Please note that most materials have specific printing instructions. Consult the individual article pages for more information.

LW-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 230C LW-PLA starts foaming and it increases its volume by nearly 3 times. By decreasing the material flow by 60% users can achieve lightweight parts. One 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.
"...LW-PLA, it’s perhaps the most ingenious 3D printer filament on the market." (Fabbaloo, February 2021)
LW-PLA is your material of choice where weight matters, like printing RC planes, drones and for cosplay purposes.
