colorFabb is celebrating her 10 year anniversary this year, and you are invited As with dozens of tech-companies, colorFabb's started in what was essentially a garage, an idea and long hours of work, dedication and commitment. colorFabb was founded by Ruud Rouleaux, currently CEO and owner of Helian Polymers, in the winter of 2012-2013. With extensive knowledge of the (bio) plastics industry, colorants and additives it was a logical next step for him to explore opportunities in the world...

Our very first.. Back in 2013 colorFabb was already producing their number one success with PLA/PHA, but they were looking to expand on this. Looking for more high quality and unique filaments to be added to the portfolio, they were continously testing new compounds. It was not before someone asked “Why don’t you make a wood filament?” that they thought "Why not?". Granted, they weren’t the first, but the filament world was still young and with their compounding partne...

Hoe houd jij je RC vliegtuig in de lucht? Verlaag het gewicht met lichtgewicht PLA 3D print filament Lichtgewicht PLA is het beste filament in zijn soort: een 3D print filament dat gebruik maakt van actieve schuimtechnologie om lichtgewicht geprinte onderdelen met een lage dichtheid te maken. Bij ongeveer 230°C (446°F) begint LW-PLA te schuimen en neemt het volume bijna 3 keer toe.  Wat moet je weten wanneer je ons lichtgewicht PLA gaat gebruiken Decrease y...

LW-PLA LW-PLA, short for "Lightweight PLA," is an invention by colorFabb designed for 3D printing applications where reducing the weight of the final printed objects is crucial. This filament is particularly well-suited for printing items like RC (Radio-Controlled) planes, cosplay props, and other lightweight components. What sets LW-PLA apart is its active foaming technology, which allows it to achieve a lower density and reduced weight in 3D prints while still maintaining adequate strength. This me...

Tough PLA November 1, 2019 New filaments are coming fast and strong here at colorFabb these days. Talking about strong… Today we release our latest 3D printing filament: Tough PLA. Our Tough PLA is a custom blend which retains the ease of use of PLA but adds serious toughness to the material. As a result the material is a lot less brittle than regular PLA filaments and has a higher impact strength. The recommended printing temperatures are 210C-230C and 50-60C heated bed temperatu...

Let’s make something clear We’re taking a look at how to 3D print with a high level of transparency. Our latest material, colorFabb_HT, is highly suited for this because of its high-flow characteristics. More information will be published later once we have it, we’re still very much in the testing-phase. But here are the basics so you can try it yourselves. COLORFABB_HT Due to the process of 3D printing, there is always a limit to how clear your print will become. With mos...

5 years bronzeFill May 17, 2019 This week it has been exactly five years that we announced  bronzeFill  at the Fabcon show in Erfurt. The fantastic material was the first of its kind: our unique PLA/PHA compound with real bronze in it. Straight from the printer parts look almost laser sintered with a matte finish and with a bit of sanding and polishing the bronze particles will start to shine & shimmer unlike any 3d printing filament you have seen before. The weight of the mat...

Mifa: Or how 3D printing helps in production May 17, 2018 There are many ways 3D printing can be used: prototyping, final products, gadgets, investment casting, art, etc. But companies, especially the ones where physical products are being made, are increasingly  looking at 3D printing for something else: tools, fixtures and parts in production.
