Technology & Products
Key Products
PLA (including PLA+, wood-fill, matte variants); PETG (including flame-retardant UL94 V0); ASA; TPU; ABS; HI-PS; PC; HIPS; 100% recycled filaments; 1.75mm and 2.85/2.90mm diameters; 1kg and 2kg spools
Technological Advantage
Three decades of polymer extrusion process expertise from industrial air filter manufacturing ensure superior diameter consistency; unique wood-fill (20% wood/bamboo particles), flame-retardant PETG (UL94 V0), and 100% recycled filament lines differentiate from commodity competitors.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Delivers industrial-grade FDM filaments with tight diameter tolerance (±0.02mm) and consistent colour accuracy, manufactured using 30+ years of plastic extrusion expertise from industrial air filter and welding wire production — reducing print failures for professional users.
How They Differentiate
Czech manufacturing with 30+ years of industrial plastics extrusion heritage; unique 2.90mm diameter variant for Ultimaker-ecosystem printers; sustainable 100% recycled filament line; competitive pricing vs. premium European rivals; OEM supplier to Prusa Research validates quality benchmark.
