【3D Printing News】New High-Temperature Resistant PLA Filament Option! colorFabb PLA-HT Makes its Debut!
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℃. 3D printing enthusiasts familiar with high-temperature PLA types available on the market know that many people need to anneal their 3D printed parts to achieve the advertised 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 parts to deform.
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 alters the microstructure of a material, thereby changing mechanical properties such as hardness and strength. The process involves heating the metal to a certain temperature above its recrystallization temperature, maintaining it for a period, and then slowly cooling it.
Product Features
．Better heat resistance - up to 120℃ oven test
．Easy to print, similar to PLA.
．High tensile strength – 3766 MPa.
Disadvantages
．Slightly poorer impact resistance than regular PLA.
．Higher temperature resistance can lead to more warping.
