How biologists are using Fil3D filaments to transform laboratory work
3D printing is revolutionizing many sectors, and biology is no exception. In laboratories around the world, researchers and life sciences professionals are integrating additive manufacturing technologies to respond to technical challenges, accelerate discoveries and reduce costs. Fil3D filaments, developed by TUCAB, emerge as a reliable, precise and sustainable national solution to give shape to the ideas of science.
Practical applications of 3D printing in biology laboratories
Biologists and laboratory technicians use 3D printing to:
Create anatomical and molecular models – for educational or simulation
Produce customized supports for test tubes, Petri dishes and microplates
Build structures for cell and tissue cultivation
Develop parts for artificial reefs and environmental monitoring devices
Adap laboratory equipment with unique and reusable accessories
These applications allow you to respond immediately to laboratory needs, avoiding long delivery times and enabling total customization.
Why choose Fil3D filaments?
TUCAB's Fil3D range was developed to ensure accurate, durable printing compatible with the demands of laboratory environments. Our filaments are available in several formulations:
-
PLA, PLA and PLA – biodegradable and ideal for prototyping and lightweight support
-
PETG – impact and moisture resistant, ideal for functional components
-
ABS – robust and resistant to high temperatures
-
EVA – for flexible and safe applications
-
Fil2ndLife – the recycled version of TUCAB, aligned with laboratory sustainability policies
Responsible and sustainable 3D printing
Environmental commitment TUCAB is reflected in the Fil2ndLife line, produced from recycled raw materials and ideal for laboratories that follow good environmental practice standards. Reducing waste and reusing materials has never been easier, without compromising print quality.
At TUCAB, we believe that science takes shape in each layer.
