2. What are Silk PLA and PLA Tough Plus?
Silk PLA: Produces smooth, glossy prints with a metallic or shiny finish, perfect for decorative items and artistic models.
PLA Tough Plus: A reinforced PLA with higher durability and impact resistance, ideal for functional parts and mechanical prototypes.

Upload your STL, OBJ, or STEP files via our website. We review each model to ensure it’s optimized for Silk PLA or PLA Tough Plus and provide a detailed quote.
4. Do you offer design help for these materials?
Yes! We adapt designs to maximize the unique properties of Silk PLA (glossy finish) or PLA Tough Plus (strength and durability), ensuring proper wall thickness, infill, and support structures for best results.
5. What is the turnaround time for FDM prints?
Small decorative prints: 1–3 business days
Medium functional prototypes: 3–7 business days
Large or batch orders: 1–3 weeks
Exact timing depends on size, complexity, and material.
6. Can I request a sample print?
Yes! We offer small test prints so you can evaluate:
– Silk PLA: finish, color, and glossiness
– PLA Tough Plus: strength, durability, and fit
7. How is pricing determined?
Pricing depends on:
– Material choice (Silk PLA or PLA Tough Plus)
– Model size and volume
– Print resolution (layer height)
– Post-processing or finishing
We provide free quotes and offer discounts for bulk orders.
8. Do you offer finishing services?
Yes. Post-processing includes:
– Silk PLA: light sanding, polishing, or coating for glossy effect
– PLA Tough Plus: sanding, painting, or assembly for functional parts
