Beautiful, biodegradable and reliable 3D printing material
Spectrum PLA Premium is a filament based on polylactide (PLA), which belongs to the aliphatic polymers, and is fully biodegradable. Carefully selected pigments ensure that parts printed from Spectrum PLA Premium have a rich colour flow across a wide spectrum. The choice of a suitable colour masterbatch for the pellets in filament extrusion also ensures very efficient printing with very good adhesion of printed parts to the build plate of FDM/FFF 3D printers.
An undeniable advantage of Spectrum PLA Premium is very low shrinkage during processing. This makes the material particularly suitable for large 3D printers without a closed enclosure. Spectrum PLA Premium delivers outstanding surface quality and detail and ensures a reliable result.
The properties of Spectrum PLA Premium make it suitable as a training material for those learning to use FDM/FFF manufacturing techniques. Thanks to its very attractive print, the material is also widely used in industrial design, especially for concept and presentation prototypes of designed finished and semi-finished products.
The material is also widely used in the production of accessories, corporate promotional items, toys, figurines, containers, handles, etc.
