Where to Buy High-Quality 3D Printing Filament in Europe: Extrudr in the Heart of Europe
Looking to buy high-quality filament that is produced in Europe? Good – because high-quality filament is not just about pricing. By producing our filaments in the heart of Europe, in Austria at the foot of the Alps, we guarantee high quality. Our history is deeply embedded in Vorarlberg. From our early beginnings as a small start-up in Fußach in 2014 to our expanding production in Lustenau, this region has influenced our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and excellence.
Whether you’re a product developer, purchaser, or professional user, here’s why choosing Extrudr means choosing a sustainably produced quality filament that performs exceedingly well and is reliable to boot.
Quality Made in Austria
Based in Austria’s westernmost region, our production is guided by the same values that define the area’s renowned architecture, textile heritage, and industrial craftmanship: clarity in design, functionality with purpose, and a deep respect for materials and sustainability. Producing in Austria also means adhering to some of the strictest production and safety standards in the world. Thanks to European Union regulations, we can ensure:
- A stable, consistent batch quality
- Meticulously developed materials, backed by years of expertise
- Reliable performance, even under challenging conditions.
And most importantly, we guarantee full material safety and transparency through compliance with:
REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals): This regulation governs how substances are manufactured and used in the EU. For you, this means that every ingredient in our filaments is carefully assessed and approved for health and environmental safety. You’ll know exactly what’s in the material you’re using – no hidden additives, no compromises.
RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive): RoHS limits the use of specific hazardous substances in electrical and electronical products. Our compliance means our filaments are free from substances like lead, mercury, and certain flame retardants, making them safer for use in schools, homes, labs, and industrial environments alike.
Together, these standards ensure that when you choose Extrudr, you’re not just getting excellent print quality, but are also getting certified safety, accountability, and trustworthiness at every step of the supply chain.
Sustainability You Can See and Trust
Sustainability in filament production? Yes! Surrounded by the Alps and close to Lake Constance, Vorarlberg commits to sustainable practices – from green energy policy to local environmental initiatives. This commitment shapes our production philosophy:
- Using bio-based raw materials like corn starch or wood fibers to produce filaments like PLA, FLAX, and GreenTEC
- Mostly sourcing in Europe, therefore drastically cutting transportation emissions
- Producing 100% locally in Austria to minimize carbon impact and bring products closer to European customers
Our local, sustainable approach doesn’t only reduce our carbon footprint. It also shortens delivery routes and lead times for our customers across Europe.
Fast, Reliable Delivery Across Europe
Our proximity to the German and Swiss borders positions us at one of central Europe’s key logistic hubs, giving us a real advantage when it comes to:
- Fast, reliable shipping throughout the EU
- Short lead times and consistent deliveries
- Rapid responses to custom orders and restocking needs
Our location offers professional users and production teams uninterrupted workflows and a lesser need for overstocking.
Innovation Rooted in Vorarlberg
Over the years, Vorarlberg has become a hub of innovation and research. Surrounded by research centers, colleges, and a growing tech ecosystem, Extrudr benefits from this culture that encourages experimentation and smarter solutions, inspiring us to:
- Develop innovative and application-driven materials
- Continuously optimize filament performance
- And adapt quickly to customer needs without compromising quality
In a nutshell: We're small enough to be agile, close enough to listen, and ambitious enough to define the future of 3D filament.
