Spectrum PLA THERMOACTIVE RED 1.75mm 0,5kg

Colour changing ability

Spectrum PLA Thermoactive is a filament based on pure PLA blended with a thermochromic pigment. Due to this extremely original addition, additive manufactured items change their colour according to the temperature. The colour changes from red to cream once the surface temperature of the item exceeds 30°C. The previous colour is restored gradually once the item reaches its initial temperature.

Key features

• colour changing ability at ca. 30°C
• warp-free printing
• excellent layer lamination
• high aesthetic surface quality
• no shrinkage after cooling

Applications

• where is crucial to identify the condition of equipment visually based on phenomena measured organoleptically (the effects are visible with the naked eye)
• educational projects
• temperature sensors
• coating for hot beverage mugs
• coating for kettles and thermostats for other electronic devices

VERIFY YOUR SPOOL – the most precise quality control system on  the market
Filament for 3D printers is manufactured by the method of free extrusion, which is one of the most difficult processing techniques by extrusion, due to the particularly significant impact of process parameters on product dimensions and material homogenization.

During the production each 1mm of Spectrum Filament is being continuously measured in 2 axes with ±0.8µm accuracy, which allow obtaining a high-quality final product. To prove this, Spectrum Filaments, as one of the few manufacturers in the world, has introduced the possibility of online presentation, individually for each manufactured spool:

• the course of diameter on the entire length of the spool,
• mean diameter,
• ovality,
• standard deviation.

Precise survey guarantees that Spectrum Filaments products meet rigorous market requirements.
