Filament Spectrum PLA Nature

New inspirations and possibilities with filament containing natural fillers

The PLA Nature series was designed with the intention of creating new textures in 3D printing materials through the use of bio-fillers. Filaments from the PLA Nature series are characterized by ease of printing, unique textures and colors and low shrinkage. A significant presence of visible bio-filler in PLA Nature filaments is a unique feature compared to the traditional PLA material. The printed model can also undergo a post-print heat treatment process, thereby increasing its heat resistance.

The PLA Nature series consists of 3D printing filaments based on PLA, manufactured with the bio-fillers such as:

• Distillery waste (PLA Nature Pils Beer and PLA Nature Dark Beer)
• Algae (PLA Nature Algae and PLA Nature Algae Nori)
• Industrial hemp byproducts, including sawdust and fibers (PLA Nature Hemp)
• Linen (PLA Nature Flax).

The particle size of the natural fillers used in production has been specially reduced to increase their presence in the filament and enable printing on a much wider range of devices using standard PLA settings.

Key features:

• bio-filler
• unique texture
• ease of printing
• made of biodegradable raw materials
• heat deflection temperature - 60°C

Applications:

• educational projects
• concept and demo prototyping
• industrial design
• interior design

Packaging

Filament wound on an environmentally-friendly cardboard spool. The spool contains information on the type of material, diameter, colour and recommended printing temperature. Each spool is vacuum packed with moisture absorber. All in an original Spectrum Filaments box.

VERIFY YOUR SPOOL – the most precise quality control system on  the market

Filament for 3D printers is manufactured by the method of free extrusion, which is one of the most difficult processing techniques by extrusion, due to the particularly significant impact of process parameters on product dimensions and material homogenization.

During the production each 1mm of Spectrum Filament is being continuously measured in 2 axes with ±0.8µm accuracy, which allow obtaining a high-quality final product. To prove this, Spectrum Filaments, as one of the few manufacturers in the world, has introduced the possibility of online presentation, individually for each manufactured spool:

• the course of diameter on the entire length of the spool,
• mean diameter,
• ovality,
• standard deviation.

Precise survey guarantees that Spectrum Filaments products meet rigorous market requirements.
