Filament Spectrum PLA Glitter

Explore beautiful gloss effect

Spectrum PLA Glitter is a highly aesthetical material blended with high-glitter particles. The particle content in the filament increases the hardness and compression resistance of printed items. These properties are improved at the cost of the higher brittleness of items. There is a possibility to control the gloss level by increasing/decreasing the wall thickness.

Tip: Due to the content of infusible particles, it is necessary to use printing nozzles with diameters of 0.4mm or more.

Key features:

• high-gloss surfaces with reduced visibility of layers on the side face of the printed items
• improved hardness and compression resistance as compared to PLA without admixtures
• user friendly
• not abrasive
• easy to print
• no shrinkage after cooling

Applications:

• interior design articles
• advertising materials
• educational projects
• any areas where it is essential to present specific geometric figures in an eye-catching manner

Properties of Spectrum PLA Glitter determine its use in industries related to the production of advertising materials or interior design elements, and wherever it is important to present the object effectively.

Packaging

Filament is reeled on the neat, transparent spool. Each spool contains information on the type of material, diameter and recommended printing temperature. Filament is vacuum-packed with a moisture absorber. Whole product packed in the original, folied Spectrum Filaments packaging.

VERIFY YOUR SPOOL

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 large impact of process parameters on product dimensions and material homogenization.

During the production each 1mm of Spectrum Filament is being continuously measured in 2 axis with ±0.8µm accuracy, what allows to obtain a high-quality final product. As a proof of this, Spectrum Filaments has introduced, as one of the few manufacturers in the world, the possibility of presenting online, 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.
