Which Companies Are Manufacturing 3D Printing Filament in the United States?

3D printing filament is a fundamental component of fused deposition modeling (FDM) and other extrusion-based 3D printing processes. Whether you’re a hobbyist, engineer or manufacturer, selecting the right filament is crucial to achieving strong, high-quality prints. Factors such as strength, flexibility and heat resistance all play a role in determining which filament best suits your project. We have helped you navigate the world of 3D printing filaments before, offering tips on how to choose the right filament, how to properly store and maintain it, and which filaments are the strongest on the market. Now, it is time to look at USA filament manufacturers.

The United States is home to a wide range of 3D printing filament manufacturers, and we’ve mapped out as many as we could find. These companies produce everything from standard filaments to materials designed for demanding industrial applications. Most manufacturers offer general-purpose options like PLA, PETG, ASA and ABS. Others go further, producing engineering-grade filaments, including nylon, PCTG and TPU. Some manufacturers, like 3DXTECH, create high-performance filaments such as PEEK, PEKK, TPI and PEI. These materials are often used in aerospace and automotive industries due to their exceptional strength, temperature resistance, and chemical stability. Some companies focus on sustainability and innovation. For example, Protopasta offers unique composite filaments like PLA infused with iron, steel, copper, carbon fiber and more.
