Filament Spectrum PLA Stone Age

Get the unique stone look

Spectrum PLA Stone Age filament is a series of PLA-based material with admixtures to obtain an imitation of “stony” structure of printed items. The Stone type filament, manufactured in two shades: Stone Age Light and Stone Age Dark, demonstrates excellent masking of layers, while printed items feel rough resembling real stone.
The original properties of Spectrum PLA Stone Age series filaments determine their applications for industries mostly related to the decorative art and architecture. Spectrum PLA Stone Age has been used to create dozens of models of objects which already exist as well as to visualise objects to be built.

Tip: The admixtures do not affect much the properties of printed items. A major aspect is the use of printing nozzles with diameters of 0.4mm or more.

Key features:

• beautiful, aesthetic imitation of stone
• rough surface
• high durability
• shrinkage-free printing
• layer masking
• not abrasive

Applications:

• decorative art
• architecture
• mock-ups
• concept and demo prototyping of designed finished and semi-finished products
• interior design

Packaging

Filament is reeled on the neat, transparent spool. Each spool contains information on the type of material, diameter and recommended printing temperature. Filament is vacuum-packed with a moisture absorber. Whole product packed in the original, folied Spectrum Filaments packaging.

VERIFY YOUR SPOOL

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 large impact of process parameters on product dimensions and material homogenization.

During the production each 1mm of Spectrum Filament is being continuously measured in 2 axis with ±0.8µm accuracy, what allows to obtain a high-quality final product. As a proof of this, Spectrum Filaments has introduced, as one of the few manufacturers in the world, the possibility of presenting online, 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.
