Specialty Series

PolySmooth™

PolySmooth™ is a unique, easy-to-print filament designed for hands-free post processing with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol. The surface can be smoothed to remove all the layer lines leaving a smooth, glossy, homogenous surface. Figurines with small details or product prototypes that require an injection moulded finish can all benefit from Layer Free™ Technology.

FAQ

Is PolySmooth™ a PLA based material?

No, although PolySmooth™ prints with similar settings as PLA, PolySmooth™ is PVB based.
PVB is more hygroscopic than PLA so it requires a dry box however it can be post processed very easily with IPA for smoother surface finish.

What storage method is recommended for PolySmooth™ when it is not in use?

For optimal storage, it is recommended to place the PolySmooth™ filament in a sealed, dry environment such as an aluminum bag or a PolyBox™.
