# Panchroma™ Satin PLA

**Next-Generation PLA for Superior Printing**\
Panchroma™ Satin PLA is an advanced bioplastic filament designed to redefine the standard for PLA materials. It offers exceptional ease of use, consistent print quality, fast printing speeds, and dependable reliability, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced users.

**Smooth Satin Finish**\
This filament produces prints with a refined satin surface, offering a subtle sheen that enhances the appearance of models without being overly glossy. It’s ideal for projects where a premium, elegant finish is desired.

**Rebranded for Clarity**\
Previously known as PolyTerra™ PLA+, Panchroma™ Satin PLA features the same trusted formulation and performance - now under a clearer, more recognizable product name.

Choose Panchroma™ Satin PLA for everyday prints, prototypes, and display models where you want a smooth, satin finish combined with easy handling and reliable results.

## Printing Tips

All Panchroma effects and colors, with the exception of Luminous, Glow, and CoPE will have no special requirements. You can print them on any printer in any setup.

* These materials are standard PLA options and can print with standard PLA settings.
* Silk and other very glossy options should be printed at a slower print speed so that the shine can be maintained. If you print these materials too fast, they will look more "matte".
* Do not print glitter/sparkle effect materials with smaller than a 0.4mm nozzle.
* Leave the cooling fan on at full blast for best surface quality.

## FAQ

<details>

<summary><strong>Is there a difference between Panchroma™ Satin PLA and PolyTerra™ PLA+?</strong></summary>

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

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Is this material food safe?</strong></summary>

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.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Is this material AMS compatible?</strong></summary>

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

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Is this material recyclable?</strong></summary>

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.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>What is Panchroma™?</strong></summary>

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".

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Can I mix and match effects into a single HueForge print?</strong></summary>

This material will mix and match great with all other Panchroma™ effects, except for CoPE

</details>

**Printing Requirements**

None! This will print great on any stock 3D printer!

You will just want to print slower on stock, older style printers.
