   What is the purpose of filament?

   • Filament is a real-time physically-based renderer written in C++. It is mobile-first, but also multi-platform. We are very conscientious about keeping Filament small, fast to load, and focused on rendering. For example, Filament does not compile materials at run time. Instead, we provide a command line tool ( matc ) that does this offline.

   What is the difference between PLA and ABS filament?

   • While for the majority of prints, good quality PLA is strong and a great all-rounder, but it’s worth understanding what ABS filament can be used for too. ABS is a little more durable than PLA, and slightly stronger – it’s also less dense. Which does make ABS a great upgrade material for some end-use parts if for some reason PLA won’t quite cut it.
