“Previously customers referred to our standard line of filament as ‘MatterHackers PLA’ or ‘MatterHackers ABS’,” said Jon Formby, MatterHackers’ Director of Retail Operations, “but as our catalog grew to encompass more and more material options, this became confusing and we realized that we needed a way for people to distinguish our staple PLA, ABS and PETG products, along with their associated mark of quality performance.”
MH Build filament is available in ABS, PLA and PETG, and it’s now lower in cost that it had been. Previously ranging from $29-$39, the material now starts at $19. Specific cost breakdown is as follows:
- ABS – $19-$22
- PLA – $20-$23
- PETG – $25-28
Shipping is free in the United States, and each MH Build Series filament is backed with MatterHackers’ Success Guarantee, which includes a satisfaction guarantee as well as phone and email access to MatterHackers’ staff of support technicians. The reduction in price is no gimmick – it’s happening because of decreased production costs, which are due to MatterHackers continuing to gain market share, as well as adoption within the growing 3D printing market.
“We’re passing cost savings back to the customer,” said Kevin Pope, COO of MatterHackers. “Our goal is to make 3D printing as affordable and accessible as possible, and now, thanks to efficiencies of scale, we are able to offer the same quality experience as before, for a lower price.”
