Panchroma™ Matte is a bioplastic based 3d printing filament designed from the ground up to create the next generation of PLA, providing ease of use, printing quality, speed and reliability.
Panchroma Matte was formerly called PolyTerra PLA. Same great colors, same great printing surface, just under an easier to understand product name.
Panchroma™ Matte — Matte Finish, Easy Printing
Panchroma™ Matte is a family of PLA-based filament formulations designed to deliver a matte finish and reliable printability. Each colour formulation is fine-tuned for consistent surface quality and prints using typical PLA settings on FFF/FDM 3D printers.
The redesigned spool edges allow smooth rotation in the AMS.
