•High Flow Extrusion - PolySonic PLA is a high speed PLA developed to extrude consistently at high flow rates such as 24mm³/s on popular extrusion systems (equivalent to 300mm/s at 0.2mm layer height with a 0.4mm nozzle.). PolySonic PLA exhibits a wider extrusion window when compared to regular PLA filaments, producing a 30% increase in flow rate at the same printing temperatures when compared to regular PLA filaments. This boost in extrusion efficiency allows users to build profiles with higher printing speeds before noticing the effects of under-extrusion on the printed part.
•Print Strong & Fast - PolySonic PLA offers both high rigidity, tensile strength and preserves its inherent mechanical performance during high speed printing; enabling users to increase the productivity of their machines without compromising on part strength or print quality. PolySonic PLA shows only a 6% drop in mechanical properties when printing at high speed compared to the classic speed. In contrast, Regular PLA (PolyLite PLA) witnesses a 24% drop when the speed is increased. The consistent mechanical strength of PolySonic PLA offers advantages for a wide range of application including functional prototyping, artistic creations, and production of end-use products.
•High Speed Accuracy - PolySonic PLA can switch from fluid to solid with minimal shrinkage, producing crisp corners, fine details and smooth surfaces with no shark skin effect. PolySonic PLA is not only capable of melting at high speeds but also cools quickly, allowing PolySonic PLA to print rapidly. As the new generation of high-speed printers are equipped with auxiliary cooling, PolySonic is perfectly adapted to lightning printing speeds with rapid cooling characteristics.
•Consistent Melt & Finish - Colourful and functional, PolySonic PLA delivers a consistent surface finish for layers printed at high or low speeds thanks to its excellent melt properties. While regular PLA melts correctly and displays a glossy finish at lower extrusion speeds, it experiences a 'cold-core' effect at high speeds and displays a matte finish along with reduced mechanical properties. Since extrusion rate is never constant and varies as a 3D printer accelerates and decelerates, high-speed prints using regular PLA exhibit an inconsistent surface finish, alternating between glossy and matte. PolySonic PLA is an excellent choice for users who require both high speed and consistent surface finish
