High Temp PLA is typically rated to 120-150°C, but did you know that's only part of the story? 😯

Typical testing is done in a heated chamber with uniform heat. We tested it the way real parts actually experience heat: uneven heating.

Using a heat gun to create different temperature zones, resulting in uneven thermal stresses and expansion. This is a true torture test of PLA 💪

For this 3mm thick panel, how hot do you think it can go while maintaining dimensionsal accuracy?

Before producing end-use parts in High Temp PLA, it needs to be tested under conditions that match your actual application.

High Temp PLA can be the perfect answer if performance is verified for conditions and geometry. Let us handle the production; you handle the rest 📈

Four 3D modelling AI attempts vs one real design by a human. AI can spit out a nice picture or a 3D figure in seconds… but ask it to design a part that actually fits with the rest of your assembly? Still not there. Not even close.

LLMs don’t have the deep CAD or 3D printing knowledge base needed for real tolerances, fitment, and engineering specs.

We do, and we’re bringing it to you soon.

Introducing the C3D Works Services portal (launching soon!).

Is Printed ABS really that much tougher than PLA? The short answer: Yes. The long answer: Yes, but there is more to it ⬇️

ABS is significantly more challenging to print, being far more sensitive to bed conditions, nozzle temperature, ambient temperature, and moisture content. This is why it is always recommended to print it with an enclosure. As a result, artifacts, defects, and unideal layer to layer adhesion can reduce the actual strength of printed ABS components significantly compared to the theoretically possible strength. This is especially true where those defects are in areas of stress concentration. What makes it more challenging is that those defects may not always be visible (on the surface).

On the other hand, PLA is significantly stronger than ABS, but it is more rigid and brittle, making it a less preferred choice for end-use parts that may experience impact or vibrations.

🚀 We're closer than ever to launch—and we can't wait! After over six months of rigorous building and testing, our Print-on-Demand tool is nearly ready to revolutionize your workflow. While design, prototyping, and optimization services remain at the heart of our mission, on-demand printing will be equally essential.

Tired of printer woes like warping, lifting, or layer separation? Don't own a printer, or need to tackle oversized parts beyond your build plate? Simply upload your CAD files, preview and verify your design, customize settings, and receive an instant quote—all in a few seamless clicks.

Every order is handled in-house by our own team. We never outsource your files or printing, whether it's a single unit or 100+, offering enhanced CAD file privacy. Have questions? You'll connect directly with the pros who print, clean, and post-process (if needed) your parts for top-notch quality.
