How Safe Are 3D Printed Toys for Kids?
When it comes to choosing toys for your children, safety is always the top priority. At Printlings, we understand that parents want both fun and peace of mind, which is why all our 3D printed toys are crafted with the highest safety standards in mind.
What Materials Are Used in Printlings Toys
All Printlings toys are made from non-toxic, durable 3D printing materials that meet global safety standards. Our most common materials include:
-
PLA (Polylactic Acid): A biodegradable, plant-based plastic that is safe for kids and eco-friendly.
Every material is carefully selected to be child-friendly, meaning no harmful fumes, heavy metals, or unsafe plastics.
Tips for Parents When Choosing Toys
Even with safe materials, parents should consider these tips when selecting 3D printed toys:
-
Check the age rating: Make sure the toy matches your child’s developmental stage.
-
Inspect for small parts: Especially for children under 3 years old, avoid toys with detachable pieces.
-
Supervise younger children: While toys are safe, small children benefit from adult guidance.
-
Regularly inspect toys for damage: Broken pieces can become hazards, so replace or repair as needed.
The Bottom Line
3D printed toys can be just as safe — if not safer — than traditional toys when they are made responsibly. At Printlings, every toy is designed and printed with your child’s safety and imagination in mind. By choosing Printlings, you get fun, creative, and fully tested toys that spark joy without compromise.
