Printing technology

FFF

Fused Filament Fabrication

FFF works on the same principle as FDM: plastic filament is melted and laid down layer by layer. The difference is the machine: FFF runs on desktop printers, FDM on industrial systems. We run FFF on every Bambu Lab printer type with Bambu Lab’s official filament line, from PLA to nylon and fibre-reinforced materials.

How FFF works, when to choose it and what to expect →

Low cost per part

Short print times

A wide filament line, from PLA to PPS-CF

Many colours and finishes
