Professional Performance, Office-Friendly Setup
Designed for low-odor, high-quality printing, PRO Series ESD-Safe PLA is ideal for labs, offices, and even home environments. Its premium formulation delivers excellent surface finish and part accuracy while being environmentally conscious.
- Plant-based PLA makes this an eco-friendly filament option.
- Produces high-resolution parts with beautiful surface quality.
- Safe to use in shared spaces thanks to its low emissions and clean print profile.
What Does ESD-Safe Mean?
ESD-Safe materials are specially engineered composites that combine standard 3D printing polymers with additives that dissipate static electricity. This prevents the buildup and sudden discharge of static, which can damage sensitive electronics and components.
- Essential for applications where electrostatic discharge can cause component failure.
- Ideal for electronics enclosures, jigs, fixtures, and PCB storage cases.
- Also useful in industrial environments where static control and insulation are critical.
How to Succeed with ESD-Safe Materials
Printing with ESD-safe materials is straightforward—there are virtually no major design or hardware changes needed compared to standard filaments. If your printer handles PETG well, making the transition to PRO Series ESD-Safe PETG will primarily involve adjusting your print temperatures.
- No special design modifications required—print as you would with the base material.
- The ESD additive is non-abrasive, so both brass and hardened nozzles are compatible.
- Standard bed adhesion techniques for the base polymer apply—your existing experience carries over seamlessly.
