Our Materials
Built to Last, Printed with Purpose
Every Z Axis Rising creation is 3D printed in-house using high-quality PLA filament — one of the most popular and versatile materials in the world of 3D printing.
What is PLA?
PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a plant-based thermoplastic derived from renewable resources like corn starch and sugarcane. It's one of the most environmentally friendly filaments available, making it a great choice for both the planet and your collection.
Why We Choose PLA
- Vibrant Colors — PLA holds color beautifully, giving our figurines rich, consistent hues and stunning multi-color effects
- Strong & Durable — Rigid enough to hold fine detail while standing up to everyday handling and play
- Safe & Non-Toxic — PLA is food-safe certified and free of harmful chemicals, making it safe for all ages
- Eco-Friendly — Made from renewable plant-based sources and biodegradable under the right conditions
- Excellent Detail — PLA's properties allow us to capture intricate scales, textures, and articulated joints with precision
A Note on Care
PLA is heat-sensitive, so keep your pieces out of direct sunlight for extended periods and away from hot surfaces like car dashboards in summer. With normal care, your Z Axis Rising pieces will look great for years to come.
