Spectrum Filament PLA Pro 1000g dark grey, 80109

PLA Pro filament is a material based on modified PLA. By orienting the chemical composition of the material to achieve satisfactory properties required for additively manufactured objects, the advantages of PLA and ABS have been successfully combined.
It is thus possible to achieve high impact resistance of printed parts with high tensile strength and substantial stiffness, which is typical for PLA-based materials.
The modified chemical composition has improved the material´s fluidity, making the filament suitable for industrial use requiring good mechanical strength, high printing efficiency, and especially the possibility to increase print speed.

This is a process in which the temperature is increased, thereby improving strength, heat resistance, and ductility of the product. The temperature the model must reach is called the glass transition temperature.
PLA Pro filament can be treated at high temperature using a heated chamber. After crystallization, it shows increased heat resistance (up to 85"C) and nearly twice the resistance of standard ABS.
Annealing can be used for parts with simple shapes where increased mechanical durability and tensile strength are needed.
*Uneven heating can lead to unexpected deformation and suboptimal performance of printed parts.
Typical annealing time for parts with a wall thickness of about 3.2 mm is approximately 20 minutes.*
