Fillamentum is a Czech company founded in 2014 in Zličín (Prague), specializing in premium FDM filaments with a focus on color, texture, and certified European quality. It's smaller than Polymaker or BASF, but holds a unique position, Fillamentum is a favorite of design and architectural studios because it offers filaments that look and feel like wood, metal, ceramic. The Timberfill series (PLA with wood fibers), CoffeeFill (PLA with coffee husks), Vinyl series (vinyl record imitation) are unique products. Fillamentum is less well-known than Polymaker but actively imported for specialized applications.
Fillamentum launched in 2014 in Zličín (Prague suburb) by Vlastimil Smyrek. The core idea was to offer European-made filaments with consistent quality, as opposed to the low-grade Chinese filaments of 2014.
The first product, Extrafill PLA (2015), was a standard PLA with 18+ colors and certified European quality. Price €28-€35/kg.
2016, Timberfill, PLA with wood fibers. Prints on standard FDM printers, gives real wood look and smell. A unique product at the time.
2018, Vinyl series with vintage colors, mimicking old vinyl records and retro design.
2020, Metallic series (Metal Effect PLA) with bronze, copper, gold tones. Stoneform series with a ceramic look.
2022, CoffeeFill, PLA with coffee husks. Real coffee smell when printing and a matte brown surface.
2024, Nylon CF series with carbon fibers, competing with Polymaker PA6-CF.
Fillamentum remains a smaller player than Polymaker but with a unique boutique position. Annual volume is around 200-300 tons of filament, vs 5000+ tons for Polymaker.

Glossary of 3D printing and additive manufacturing terms.
Timberfill contains real wood fibers (about 30% by volume). This abrades standard brass nozzles 2-3× faster than pure PLA. After 5 kg of Timberfill, I recommend replacing the nozzle (€5-€15 for standard brass) or switching to a hardened steel nozzle (€15-€30). Bambu Lab X1-Carbon includes a hardened steel nozzle in the standard package.
Not recommended. Timberfill contains real wood fibers that aren't food-certified. Also, wood fibers retain moisture and can develop microbial growth. For food contact use certified PETG (Polymaker PolyLite PETG Translucent).
Standard 6-12 months after opening (like all PLA-based materials). Timberfill and CoffeeFill may lose some of their smell after 3-6 months in air. For long-term storage, seal in a zip-lock bag with silica gel.
Nylon CF15 (€68/kg), Nylon with 15% carbon fibers. Suitable for functional parts with mechanical load, but not as tough as Polymaker PolyMide PA6-CF (with 25% CF). For the heaviest applications (robot EOAT, structural elements) choose Polymaker or Markforged.
