Food Safety

Last updated: August 2026

What our tools are made from

PrintCulinary tools are 3D-printed from plant-based, food-safe materials — primarily PLA+ (a rigid, corn-starch-derived bioplastic) and TPU (a flexible material). These are designed for incidental food contact during prep.

How to use them safely

• Hand wash only. Warm water and mild soap. No dishwasher.
• No heat. Keep away from stovetops, ovens, microwaves, and boiling water — these materials soften at high temperatures.
• Prep, not storage. Our tools are made for food preparation, not long-term food storage or cooking.

Why 3D-printed tools are different

3D-printed surfaces can have fine layer lines. We tune our prints for smooth, cleanable surfaces, but for best hygiene, wash before first use and after every use, and replace any tool that becomes cracked or heavily worn.

Our guarantee

Every tool is backed by a 30-day defect guarantee. If something arrives wrong, we'll replace it free — see our return policy.
