NEW! PLA TERRACOTTA 1.75mm / 2.85mm 1KG
Tm3dfilament.nl has added a new color to the range of PLA filaments called Terracotta!. PLA filaments are biodegradable and compostable, made from renewable plant sources, and therefore an environmentally friendly choice for 3D printing. However, the color pigments used to color PLA filaments can be harmful to the environment, but tm3dfilament.nl uses safe pigments that comply with EU guidelines. Although research is still being conducted into new materials and processes to make 3D printing even more sustainable, the use of PLA filaments is an excellent choice for anyone who cares about sustainability.
Chapter 1: Introduction
Tm3dfilament.nl recently added a new color to the range of PLA filaments: terracotta. Besides the fact that it is a beautiful new color to print with, it is also important to look at the durability of the material. PLA filaments are already known for their environmental friendliness, but what about the sustainability of the new terracotta color?
Chapter 2: Durability of PLA filament
PLA filament is a biodegradable and compostable material, meaning it breaks down naturally without harming the environment. It is made from renewable plant sources, such as corn starch, sugar cane or cassava. This makes it an excellent choice for 3D printing when we talk about environmental friendliness.
But what about the durability of the new terracotta color? The color pigments used to color PLA filaments can in some cases be harmful to the environment. However, tm3dfilament.nl uses pigments that are safe for the environment and comply with the EU guidelines for chemical substances. This means that the new terracotta color does not contain any harmful substances and can be safely used for 3D printing.
Chapter 3: Future developments
PLA filaments are currently one of the most environmentally friendly 3D printing materials on the market, but that doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement. Research continues into the use of new materials and processes to make 3D printing even more sustainable.
An example of this is the use of bioplastic filaments made from recycled materials, such as PET bottles. These filaments have similar properties to PLA filaments, but are even more sustainable because they are made from recycled materials.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, the new terracotta color from tm3dfilament.nl is not only a beautiful color to print with, but also a sustainable choice. The use of safe color pigments in combination with the biodegradable and compostable properties of PLA filament makes it an environmentally friendly option for 3D printing. While research is still being conducted into new materials and processes to make 3D printing even more sustainable, we can confidently say that PLA filaments are an excellent choice for anyone who values sustainability.
