Every object is mostly what you can't see. We design the structure inside first — the lattice that carries the load — and let the outer shell follow from it.
Slice open any printed object and you'll find a pattern — triangles, gyroids, honeycomb — engineered to hold weight with the least material possible. That hidden geometry is the whole idea behind this studio. We start every object from its infill outward, not its surface inward.
InfillFab is a small object studio, currently shaping its first line. What ships first will be simple, load-bearing, and built to be taken apart and understood.
We print the same 60mm test coupon six times, changing only the infill, then load each one to failure. Here's what we've learned so far about what each pattern is actually good for.
Hexagonal cells spread load evenly in every direction — the standard choice when a part needs to be strong without being heavy.
Rings that trace the part's own outline, flexing evenly with it rather than resisting it — built to give, not to hold firm.
Triangles don't deform under pressure the way squares or hexagons can — a dependable pick whenever a part needs to resist twisting.
A continuous curved lattice with equal strength in every direction — it shrugs off repeated stress better than most patterns fatigue.
A straightforward grid that balances strength and print time well — our default whenever there's no strong reason to pick anything else.
Support only where the surface actually needs it, almost hollow everywhere else — built for speed and weight, not load.
What's below is our regular rotation — not a ceiling. If a part needs something else, we'll source it or test it.
Rigid and low-warp with a clean matte finish — the most dimensionally accurate plastic we run, and our default for anything that lives indoors.
Tougher than PLA with a slight semi-gloss finish, and shrugs off moisture — our go-to the moment a part leaves the desk.
A tough, impact-resistant workhorse that machines and sands cleanly — and can be vapor-smoothed to a glossy, seam-free finish.
Soft enough to flex and bounce back, with a matte, rubber-like feel that holds its shape under sustained load.
Glass fibre tames TPU's stretch without losing its cushioning — flexible enough to absorb impact, structured enough to hold a form.
Our newest addition — a stiff, heat-resistant blend with a low-sheen black finish that holds its shape well past where most filaments give up.
Cured layer by layer under UV for a smooth, high-detail finish no FDM nozzle can match.
PETG-CF, ASA, nylon, specialty composites — if your part needs something specific, tell us and we'll source it or test it.
