PolyTerra™ PLA Dual is a dichromatic matte PLA 3D printing filament that is manufactured with two different colours to give models a striking dual-coloured effect. Based on Polymakers PolyTerra™ Matte formula, this bioplastic filament is sourced naturally to provide ease of use, printing quality, speed and reliability. It is the perfect choice for creating colourful models with a smooth matte surface finish that hides the layers.
-
Dichromatic Matte Finish - PolyTerra™ Dual PLA is a high quality dual colour matte filament that offers a beautiful and dynamic colour transition effect for your 3D prints[1] delivering a fun multi-colour filament for hobbyists, educators and small businesses. Print parts with a beautiful matte surface finish and unleash your imagination with Polymakers fun and vibrant dual colour range.
-
Optimized for Support - PolyTerra™ Dual PLA has been engineered with excellent support removal properties, enabling users to more easily break away support or rafts from the surface of their prints.
-
High Speed Capable - Polymaker have engineered the base PolyTerra™ PLA formula with ideal flow properties to deliver a filament which is capable of high speed printing (only on suitable hardware).
-
Bioplastic Matte PLA Formula - PolyTerra™ Dual PLA is based on a newly developed material from Polymaker called FBC (Fully Bio Compound). It is a compound of high quality Ingeo PLA compounded with naturally occurring elements. The result is a PLA filament with less plastic content that feels softer and more ductile / less brittle on the spool. Polymakers FBC formula contains less PLA plastic to degrade which improves the speed of degradation under specific industrial conditions. Like other PLA's, the degradation rate is still very slow in ambient temperatures.
-
Ductility (X-Y) - PolyTerra™ Dual PLA is softer than regular PLA, delivering improved ductility in the horizontal X-Y axis than standard PLA formulations. Whereas a test bar in standard PLA will snap when bent, PolyTerra™ Dual PLA will tend to gradually bend and fracture in the horizontal axis.
-
Compatibility / Jam-Free™- PolyTerra™ Dual PLA is compatible with a wide range of 3D printers and is manufactured with Polymakers Jam-Free™ technology which leads to excellent printing quality with zero risk of nozzle jams caused by heat creep [2]. PolyTerra™ Dual PLA works well on most printing surface with a thin layer of glue stick applied, no heated bed is required but can sometimes be used at 40 - 50°C for better results (maximum 60°C).
-
Uncompromised Quality - PolyTerra™ Dual PLA filament is made with the highest quality ingredients including Ingeo® from Natureworks; a high quality PLA material produced from rapidly renewable plant resources in the US. Combining Polymakers innovative R&D technologies, compounding and extrusion systems with Natureworks Ingeo® resins produces a reliable 3D printing filament to print beautiful and accurate models.
