Description
PolyLite™ is a family of 3D printing filaments made with the best raw materials to deliver exceptional quality and reliability. PolyLite™ covers the most popular 3D printing materials to meet your everyday needs in design and prototyping. PolyLite™ PLA Silk is a unique and easy-to-print filament that produces parts with a special silk-like and metallic surface finish that hides the layers.
Features
-
Silk Surface Finish - PolyLite™ PLA Silk has been formulated to render parts with an incredible glossy silk-like surface finish with no post-processing required. Its unique surface finish makes it an attractive choice for stand out display models or aesthetic applications that require a vibrant or metallic surface finish.
-
Compatibility In Mind - PolyLite™ PLA Silk is an easy-to-print filament and compatible with a wide range of popular extrusion based 3D printers[1]. (Heated bed may be required in some cases).
-
Easy to Print - PolyLite™ PLA Silk works well with common printing surfaces such as the blue tape, Kapton tape, glass, BuildTak, etc. No heated bed required but can be used for better results (up to 60°C).
-
Uncompromised Quality - PolyLite™ PLA Silk filament is made with the highest quality ingredients including Ingeo® from Natureworks. Natureworks is a world-leading biopolymers supplier based in the USA with a portfolio of high quality raw PLA materials produced from rapidly renewable plant resources. 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
[1] Please note it's not possible to make a Silk PLA filament with resistance to heat creep; this is why PolyLite™ PLA Silk does not feature the Jam-Free™ technology implemented in other PolyLite™ PLA filaments. This may affect compatibility with printers that suffer from heat creep and for these users we recommend considering a PLA filament which features Jam-Free™ technology.
