Alongside the Series 1 and Series 1 Pro, which are their two manufacturing-ready Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) 3D printers, Type A Machines has also partnered with a number of filament producers to develop high-quality materials. Earlier this year, Type A introduced their ProMatte filament, a smooth and lightweight material that was developed in collaboration with Polymaker. Now, Type A has just released two new filaments, EverydayPLA and PerformancePLA, both of which will aim to satisfy the needs of their wide-ranging customer base.
In addition to EverydayPLA, Type A Machines has also rolled out their PerformancePLA, which was developed to provide customers with durable and production-quality parts. This filament was engineered in collaboration with Breathe-3DP, a subsidiary of the performance polymer extrusion company Universal Fibers. Compared to standard PLA, PerformancePLA supplies high impact strength and less brittleness, and is available in black, white, gray, red, green, and orange. The retail price for a 1kg spool of this performance-driven filament is $56.
“Delivering a 3D printing experience comprised of hardware, software, and materials, all tuned to work together, is critical to meeting our manufacturing customers’ needs”, said Tim Holmes, Chief Strategy Officer for Type A Machines. “EverydayPLA, and PerformancePLA provide our customers choices in filament that deliver solid, reliable results and we stand behind that.”
All in all, Type A Machines continues to innovate on all 3D printing fronts, providing their customers with a fulfilling ecosystem that enables them to harness the true potential of desktop 3D printing. Discuss further over in the new Type A 3D Printing Filaments forum at 3DPB.com.
