Specialties

LightweightVery light, often foaming or low-density. Floats in water. Often used for RC planes, drones, and buoyant objects

MatteFlat, non-reflective surface that hides layer lines. Surface feels slightly rough or chalky.

Tough / Impact ResistantEngineered to resist breaking, cracking, or shattering under impact. Unlike standard PLA, which snaps, this flexes slightly before breaking. Ideal for parts that get dropped, bumped, or stressed.
