Panchroma™ PLA Starlight — is a high-quality filament for 3D printing that combines aesthetic properties with excellent mechanical strength. The material was previously introduced as Polymaker PolyLite™ Starlight PLA, however, is now an improved and re-engineered material that has better physico-mechanical properties and characteristics, as well as an improved formulation that allows printing at much higher speeds. The peculiarity of this material is its ability to create a cosmic effect on the surface of the models, which gives them a unique look. This PLA plastic is ideal for printing decorative items, souvenirs, models with a special visual effect and projects where appearance and detail are important.
Key benefits:
-
Effect "starry sky": Panchroma™ PLA Starlight creates a unique effect on the surface of the models, simulating space and the starry sky thanks to the inclusion of light particles in the composition of the plastic.
-
Improved strength: Although this material is PLA-based, it has increased strength and stiffness compared to other conventional PLA materials, allowing for parts that are resistant to external influences.
