【3D Printing News】A New Choice for High-Temperature PLA Filaments! colorFabb PLA-HT is here!
colorFabb has launched high-temperature resistant PLA that does not require annealing or other post-processing. The colorFabb team tested this filament in an oven and it can withstand 120℃. For 3D printing enthusiasts familiar with high-temperature PLA types available on the market, it is known that many require annealing of 3D printed parts to achieve the claimed temperature resistance. Annealing parts increases processing time (at least 60 minutes for large and delicate parts), incurs additional energy costs, and in some cases, the crystallization process can even cause part deformation.
The colorFabb R&D team has been researching solutions to achieve high HDT immediately after printing, without the need for annealing. Annealing is a heat treatment that changes the microstructure of a material, thereby altering mechanical properties such as hardness and strength. The process involves heating the metal to a certain temperature above its recrystallization temperature, holding it at this temperature for a period, and then slowly cooling it.
Product Features
．Better heat resistance - oven tested up to 120℃
．Easy to print, similar to PLA.
．High tensile strength – 3766 MPa.
Disadvantages
．Impact resistance is slightly worse than regular PLA.
．Higher temperature resistance can lead to more warping.
