Filaments.ca Information

Back in late 2013 and early 2014 when the desktop 3D printing materials industry was really starting to take off in the United Stated and around the world, with new and unique 3D printing materials and opportunities popping up every day, the few of us here in Canada who actually had a desktop 3D printer couldn't help but feel a little bit left out... so many exciting and inspiring stories heard in the news and social media channels, but how could one get their hands on something like a high strength nylon or a flexible filament for example? If you had some extra cash laying around, then sure, you could import it from the US or Europe, pay the outrages shipping fees, taxes, duties and brokerage fees and vuala, you got yourself one expensive roll of filament to play around with... while the rest of us had to be content with the one roll of PLA or ABS plastic we received when we bought our 3D printer. Seeing the opportunity to fill the need for a reliable CANADIAN 3D printer filament source, and after a quick domain name availability search... "Filaments.ca" was born. Partnering up with a chemicals and plastic manufacturer as an online retail store for 3D printing materials. The goal of Filaments.ca from the beginning, was to be a truly Canadian source for all your 3D printing materials needs where products are actually stored and shipped from Canada, this means you will get your product in the quickest possible way for the lowest possible price! Filaments.ca is truly a unique concept since we are both a manufacturer and a retailer; We manufacture several lines of materials under our own label and we also import popular specialty materials from all over the world in order to give Canadians quick and cost effective access to materials manufactured outside of Canada, making us the leading distributor of 3D printing materials in Canada.
