PLA Premium – Light Aeolite – Spectrum

Get a unique stone look

Spectrum PLA Stone Age is a series of PLA-based materials with impurities to produce a simulated “stone” structure on printed products. Stone-type filament, produced in two shades: Stone Age Light and Stone Age Dark, demonstrates excellent layer masking, and printed products feel rough, resembling real stone.

The original properties of the Spectrum PLA Stone Age™ filaments define their applications for industries primarily related to decorative arts and architecture. Spectrum PLA Stone Age has been used to create dozens of models of existing objects as well as to visualize objects to be built.

Tip: Impurities do not affect the properties of the printed products very much. A key aspect is the use of printing nozzles with a diameter of 0.4 mm or more.
