Choose the right document

Select the PDF for your exact material and variant. The available documents cover PLA+ Bio, PLA Chameleon, PLA Matte, PLA Rainbow, PLA Silk, ABS, PETG-CF and PETG Metallic.

Basic information and standards

Each sheet identifies the material, reports density and moisture content, and lists the standards referenced for material testing. Read the test standard and condition alongside each result.

Mechanical properties

The tensile, bending and impact sections report results by specimen orientation. X, Y and Z values describe the test directions stated in the sheet; retain the direction and units when comparing results.

Thermal properties

Heat deflection temperature is reported with a specimen direction, and melt index with its temperature and load. These values describe the stated test conditions; consult the individual PDF for details.

Printing parameters and specimens

Recommended settings cover nozzle and bed temperatures, speed, cooling and storage. They are reference values for the printer named in the sheet and may need adjustment. Specimen printing conditions describe how the test samples were made and are distinct from the general recommendations.

Using the reported values

Typical values are for reference and comparison rather than design specifications or quality assurance criteria. Results for printed parts depend on the printer, settings, geometry and operating conditions. Consult the complete PDF and its disclaimer when selecting a material.

For safety data and the available test reports, see SDS/MSDS, REACH and RoHS.
