At 3DCentral, we are developing our own filament production line right here in Quebec. Why? Because the materials you use are just as important as the designs you print. Local filament production ensures quality control from raw material to finished print.
The Current Filament Market
Most filament sold in Canada is imported from China or the United States. Shipping adds cost, carbon emissions, and lead time. Quality varies wildly between batches, and supply chain disruptions can leave print farms without materials for weeks.
Why We Are Making Our Own
Our 200+ printer farm consumes thousands of kilograms of filament annually. By manufacturing our own, we control every variable — diameter consistency, color accuracy, material purity, and spool quality. The result is more reliable prints with fewer failures.
Quebec Manufacturing Advantages
Quebec offers affordable hydroelectric power, a skilled technical workforce, and proximity to both Canadian and US markets. Our provincial manufacturing incentives support local production, making Quebec an ideal location for filament extrusion.
Testing With Our Own Farm
Every filament batch is tested on our own printers before sale. We run hundreds of test prints across different models, settings, and temperatures. If it works perfectly on our farm, it will work on yours.
Launch Timeline
Our filament line is currently in the testing phase. We expect to launch with PLA and PETG in standard colors, expanding to silk, matte, and specialty filaments based on demand. Newsletter subscribers will get early access pricing.
