PLA Premium – Anthracite Grey – Spectrum

PLA Premium – Anthracite Grey – Spectrum

Spectrum Premium PLA is an ideal material for both beginners and advanced 3D printer users and for those who want to achieve the desired effect in an easy and fast way. Premium PLA is a polylactide based filament with complete biodegradability.

Aesthetic, biodegradable and reliable 3D printing

Spectrum PLA Premium is a polylactide-based filament that belongs to aliphatic polymers. It shows complete biodegradability. Carefully selected colour concentrates provide the articles manufactured from Spectrum PLA Premium with saturated colours in a wide spectrum. In addition, the selection of a suitable dye base for the filament extrusion granules ensures high-performance printing with extremely good adhesion of the printed articles to the construction beds of FDM/FFF 3D printers.

An undoubted advantage of Spectrum PLA Premium is the very low shrinkage during processing. Thus, it is particularly useful for large-size 3D printers without a closed build chamber. Spectrum PLA Premium gives excellent surface and part quality, producing reliable results.

Key Features:

made from biodegradable raw materials
good mechanical properties (high hardness and tensile strength)
user-friendly
high aesthetic surface quality
good for creating high resolution parts
high hardness of printed elements
relatively low melting temperature
lack of shrinkage after cooling
good for lost casting methods to create metal parts
wide range of colours available
thermal distortion temperature – 55°C

Applications:

household tools
educational projects
concept and demonstration prototypes of designed finished and semi-finished products
industrial design
interior design
castings and moulds

The characteristics of Spectrum PLA Premium filament define its use as a learning material for those learning to use FDM/FFF additive manufacturing technologies. In addition, due to its extremely high aesthetic properties, the material is widely used in industrial design, in particular for concept and demonstration prototypes of designed finished and semi-finished products.

The material is also widely used for the production of gadgets and promotional tools of companies, as well as all kinds of toys, figurines, containers, handles and stands for interior design purposes.
