Volcano PLA is an industrial grade PLA which is engineered for professional applications that require high printing speeds and improved heat resistance and mechanical properties similar to ABS. Volcano PLA offers the same mechanical and thermal properties - after annealing - as most ABS filaments, but with the biodegradability and ease of printing of PLA. Volcano PLA combines a high heat resistance with high printing speeds and high impact resistance into a PLA-based filament engineered for industrial applications.
Unique features
High heat resistance of ≥ 95° C after annealing
Less than 0.3% shrinkage after annealing
Roughly 8 times less shrinkage compared to competitor materials available on the market
Engineered to have excellent dimensional accuracy before and after annealing
Engineered for high printing speeds of > 120mm/s
Highly crystalline immediately after extruding resulting in increased stiffness and temperature resistance
Superb mechanical properties comparable to ABS
Excellent interlayer adhesion
Biodegradable
Matte surface finish
