High Speed Filaments for Faster 3D Printing

Modern 3D printers can operate at significantly higher speeds than previous generations, but conventional filaments may struggle to maintain consistent material flow under demanding printing conditions.

High Speed filaments are developed to improve melting and extrusion characteristics, allowing higher volumetric flow rates while maintaining good layer adhesion and surface quality.

These materials are particularly useful for printing larger objects, producing multiple parts or accelerating prototyping and small-scale manufacturing.

High Speed PLA vs High Speed PETG

Our range includes two popular materials optimised for faster printing:

• High Speed PLA - an easy-to-print filament formulated for improved flow at higher speeds. Ideal for models, prototypes, decorative objects and everyday parts. Its low shrinkage helps maintain dimensional accuracy during printing.
• High Speed PETG - combines PETG's durability with improved flow characteristics. Suitable for enclosures, brackets and functional components requiring greater impact resistance than PLA.

Does High Speed Filament Actually Make Printing Faster?

High Speed filaments can support faster printing, but the achievable speed also depends on your printer's capabilities.

The hotend's melting capacity, extruder performance, cooling system and motion hardware all influence the maximum practical printing speed.

Even with high-flow filament, complex geometries, small details and surface quality requirements may limit how quickly a part can be printed.

High Speed PLA and PETG can also be used in conventional FDM 3D printers, provided the manufacturer's recommended printing settings are followed.

Whether you're looking to reduce prototyping time or improve production efficiency, High Speed filaments offer a practical way to take advantage of modern 3D printing hardware.
