PLA still moves 61% of volume. Here is the rest of the shelf.
Based on our own shipment mix to distributors worldwide in the last four quarters.
The volume base
PLA is 61 % of units moved, mostly black and white. Keep 60 % of working capital here.
The margin layer
PETG and TPU 95A carry 8–12 points more margin and turn every 3 weeks.
The differentiator
One spool of Nylon-CF lands 4 industrial accounts for every 10 sold to hobbyists. Stock it for the demo, not for volume.
