Is there a difference between Panchroma™ Silk PLA and PolyLite™ Silk PLA?

No! This is the same great material - just under a new product family name.

Is this material food safe?

Unfortunately we do not have any data whether this material is food safe. As of now, no 3D printing material on the market is FDA food safe compliant. This is because in order to be certified as food safe, the actual object needs to be certified and not the base material. The shape, bed used, environment the object was made, and much more goes into getting a food safety certificate. As of now there is no real certification that the FDA offers for 3D printing.

Is this material AMS compatible?

Yes! All Panchroma™ spools now have hardened edges that roll great in the AMS

Do you sell refills?

We are sorry but we do not sell refills at this time

Is this material recyclable?

Unfortunately there is no great answer for recycling PLA at this time. Our cardboard spools are biodegradable but there is no great way to recycle PLA at this time.

What is Panchroma™?

Panchroma™ is a new family of engineered polymer compounds containing PLA. The formulations are fine tuned for each color/surface finish to offer the best aesthetic quality and printability. They can be reliably printed on any FFF/FDM 3D printer under typical PLA settings.

All Panchroma™ products are PLA except for those listed under "experimental".

Can I mix and match effects into a single HueForge print?

This material will mix and match great with all other Panchroma™ effects, except those listed under "experimental".
