Quality Matters
During development of the F306, we tested filament from multiple suppliers all over the globe. We found that the
quality of the filament matters a surprising amount. Even with an excellent 3D printer, poor quality filament
resulted in poor quality parts. As a result we’ve worked hard to locate and partner with top-tier suppliers.
Where to Buy?
We recommend buying filament directly from Fusion3. The material we supply has been extensively tested and
tuned on our equipment. Our default printing profiles are set up for these materials as well. Currently we can
supply the following materials:

ABS

ABSpro (a high-strength, high-temperature ABS blend)

PLA

Bridge Nylon

Nylon 618

PET / T-Glase

HIPS

Polycarbonate (experimental)
However if buying from us is not an option, we have the following approved suppliers list:

Ultimachine ( https://ultimachine.com/ ) for PLA, ABS, HIPS, and PC

Taulman ( http://taulman3d.com/ ) for Nylon 618, Bridge Nylon, and T-Glase
