PLA Premium – Dark Grey – Spectrum

PLA Premium – Dark Grey – Spectrum

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 color concentrates provide Spectrum PLA Premium products with rich colors across a broad spectrum. In addition, the selection of a suitable dye substrate for the filament extrusion pellets ensures high-performance printing with extremely good adhesion of the printed articles to the construction beds of the 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.

Packaging

The filament is wound on a clean, transparent spool. Each spool contains information on the material type, diameter and recommended printing temperature. The filament is vacuum packed with a moisture absorber. The entire product is packaged in Spectrum Filaments’ original, folded packaging.
