Discover Smartfil PLA and all its possibilities

3D printing has become an increasingly popular tool in the industry and at home. But the quality of 3D printing depends largely on the material that is used.

This makes a correct choice of material and its correct use, essential to achieve the best finishes.

Let’s get to know the characteristics of Smartfil® PLA and why it is so famous and used in this sector.

One of the biggest problems of 3D printing is the environmental impact that it can generate. That’s why PLA from Smart Materials 3D is an ideal option, as it is produced from renewable sources and is biodegradable.

This means that it not only reduces the carbon footprint, but also is safe for the environment.

Smart Materials 3D PLA is known for its great variety of colors and effects as we have more than 21 different colors and 8 different ranges of effects such as metallic or glitter effects.

All these colors and effects are fully combinable with each other to achieve high quality final pieces.

An important property of Smart Materials 3D PLA is its certification for food contact.

This means that the material complies with food safety standards and can be used to print objects that will be in contact with food.

It is an excellent option for printing kitchen utensils, containers and other similar objects.

Now that we know the different properties of Smartfil® PLA we will know the technical aspects of it.

Next, we are going to comment on the aspects that make Smartfil® PLA the highest quality on the market:

• Purity: High quality PLA must have a purity of at least 99%, which means that it does not contain impurities that can affect the quality of printing.

• Precise tolerances: The diameter of the PLA filament must be consistent for a uniform printing. The best PLA filaments have a tolerance of +/- 0.03 mm, which guarantees a precise and trouble-free printing.

• Good adhesion to the print bed: PLA must adhere well to the print bed to prevent it from peeling off or deforming during printing. High quality PLA has excellent adhesion to the print bed, resulting in more accurate and uniform prints regardless of the size of the object, making it suitable for large prints without deformation.

• Color consistency: High quality PLA filaments must have a uniform and consistent color throughout the length of the filament. This is important to prevent the print from having different shades of color in different parts.

With all of the above you already know the characteristics of Smartfil® PLA.
