See through the possibilities with PLA Crystal – transparent innovation!
PLA Crystal is an innovative product designed especially for 3D printing enthusiasts looking for transparent and translucent effects in their projects. The filaments are made from highly crystallised PLA and offer outstanding clarity and a beautiful finish that cannot be achieved with traditional, opaque PLA. This property makes 3D prints from PLA Crystal visually attractive and suitable for a wide range of uses.
The new PLA Crystal line is characterised by up to 30% increased flow, which results in smoother and more accurate printing. This makes it easy to create complex and precise models. PLA Crystal also has a heat resistance of up to 60°C, which makes the material suitable for use where temperatures are moderate.
PLA Crystal filaments are based on biodegradable PLA and the raw material used in this line is approved for food contact.
Tip: Depending on cooling, temperature and print speed, the final print surface can be translucent or semi-matte.
