Materials & Process

At Motyfe, we work primarily with PLA and PETG — materials chosen for their balance of durability, finish, and responsible production.

PLA (Plant-Based Material)

PLA is derived from renewable resources such as corn starch and sugarcane. It allows us to create precise forms while reducing reliance on petroleum-based plastics.

While PLA is not biodegradable in everyday environments, it has a lower carbon footprint than many traditional plastics and is well-suited for indoor objects designed to last.

PETG (Durable & Long-Lasting)

PETG is used for pieces that require added strength and heat resistance. It is highly durable, impact-resistant, and recyclable in facilities that accept PET plastics.

Made to Order

Every Motyfe piece is 3D printed only after you place an order.

This means:

  • no excess inventory

  • minimal material waste

  • fewer unnecessary resources used

Each object is printed layer by layer, finished by hand, and checked before it leaves the studio.

A Note on Sustainability

Sustainability is not a single claim — it’s a series of choices.
