Customer Feedback & Material Selection Shift
A customer deeply engaged in the domestic 3D printing market operates multiple Bambu Lab series printers and provides long-term customized services for cultural gift businesses and themed restaurants. Recently, the customer chose NextShapes Standard PLA filament to batch-produce Pokémon-themed “Mew” phone stands for a restaurant chain.
Upon payment, the customer remarked, “This material is incredibly reliable! The printed Mew models are dimensionally accurate, the surface is nearly flawless, hardly needs any sanding, and takes color well. Our production efficiency has increased significantly.”
Not long ago, this same customer nearly lost an important client due to the unstable quality of another filament brand. That material caused rough surfaces and large dimensional deviations, making the phone stands unstable and unsuitable for delivery. The experience highlighted the critical role high-quality materials play in maintaining production standards.
Product Performance & Market Recognition
Since trying Standard PLA six months ago, the customer’s experience has improved dramatically. In one test, a 12 cm tall Mew sample showed dimensional deviation within just ±0.1 mm, with all components fitting together seamlessly. This performance is attributed to the nano-functional materials independently developed by NextShapes and infused into the filament, which give printed models exceptional detail fidelity, bringing Mew’s facial expression and features vividly to life.
Thanks to its outstanding performance and consistent quality, Standard PLA has gained widespread recognition in the cultural and creative sectors. Looking ahead, we hope to collaborate with more customers and continue exploring new frontiers in 3D printing applications.
