PLA - Antimicrobial Red 3D Filament
Experience an improved 3D Printer experience with the industry leading PLA Antimicrobial Filament from TM3D. Available in diameter 1.75mm or 2.85mm . On request for 1KG , 3KG , 5KG and 10KG .
Features of PLA Antimicrobial 3D Filament:
- Antimicrobial Properties: The most distinguishing feature of antimicrobial PLA filament is the addition of antimicrobial additives during the production process. These additives kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and some viruses, making the material ideal for applications where hygiene is essential.
- Biodegradable: Like traditional PLA (Polylactide), antimicrobial PLA is biodegradable and made from renewable resources such as corn starch. This makes it a more environmentally friendly choice compared to petroleum-based plastics.
- Good Printability: Antimicrobial PLA filament has excellent 3D printing properties, comparable to those of standard PLA . It has a low shrinkage factor and does not deform easily, resulting in smooth and detailed prints without the need for a heated print bed.
- Safe for Contact with Food: Depending on the specific antimicrobial additives used, antimicrobial PLA filament may be safe for food contact, making it ideal for making utensils, containers and other items that come into contact with food.

Frequently asked questions
Got a question?
Which filament material should I choose for my 3D printer?
The material you choose depends on the intended use and the desired properties of the end product. Some popular filament options include PLA (biodegradable and easy to print), ABS (strong and impact resistant), PETG (durable and flexible), and TPU (flexible and elastic). Consider the desired strength, flexibility, temperature resistance and special properties when making your choice.
Which filament diameter should I buy?
The filament diameter must match the specifications of your 3D printer. The most common diameters are 1.75 mm and 2.85 mm. Check your printer's manual or the specifications on the manufacturer's website to find out which diameter is suitable.
What is the difference between PLA and ABS filament?
PLA (Polylactic Acid) and ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) are both commonly used filament materials, but they have different properties. PLA is biodegradable, easy to print, less likely to warp and produces less odor during printing. ABS is stronger, more impact resistant and more resistant to higher temperatures, but it requires good ventilation due to the odor released during printing.
What is the influence of filament color on the printing result?
The filament color does not affect the printability or mechanical properties of the final product, but it can affect the aesthetic appearance. Bright colors can make small imperfections and layers more visible, while dark colors may hide them. It is mainly a matter of personal preference and the desired appearance of the printed object.
How do I store 3D filament properly?
To maintain the quality of your filament, it is important to store it properly. Store the filament in a dry and cool place, preferably in an airtight container or a sealable container with a moisture-absorbing agent, such as silica gel. Exposure to moisture can adversely affect print results, so protection against moisture is essential.
