Copper 3D PLActive is an innovative Nanocomposite 3D printer filament developed with a high-quality PLA compound and a patented, scientifically validated and highly effective Nano-Copper additive. PLActive filament is FDA registered and eliminates more than 99.99% of fungi, viruses, bacteria and a wide range of microorganisms.
Key features
FDA registered filament
Compliant to European Union norms: No. 1935/2004 and No. 2023/2006
Antibacterial action has been scientifically validated eliminating more than 99.99% of fungi, viruses, bacteria and a wide range of microorganisms
Clinically tested in prosthesis for amputees with excellent results
Ideal for the manufacture of other medical applications where it’s dangerous to have bacterial contamination, such as postoperative prostheses, wound dressing and surgical equipment
Antibacterial properties confirmed by two microbiology laboratories in Chile and USA
Manufactured in the Netherlands according to ISO 9001/2015 certified manufacturing standards
PLActive has thermoforming characteristics that facilitate post-processing and final adjustments of the 3D printed application
Compatible with AquaSolve for complex multi-extrusion 3D printing
It can be "hospital sterilized" by various methods (UCV, Ozone, EthOx, Bleach), but NOT with Dry or Wet Heat (autoclave) because this will ruin the PLA, not the additive. The additive remains stable until 990ºC
Biodegradable
Applications
Medical applications
Food contact and processing applications
Orthopedics
Surgical guides and equipment
Water-filtering applications
Postoperative prostheses
General printing guidelines *
Nozzle size: ≥ 0.15mm | Layer height: ≥ 0.1mm | Experience level: Beginner |
Print temp: ± 190 - 210° C | Fan speed: 50-100% | |
Heat bed: ± 0 - 60° C | Enclosure needed: No |
*) Above displayed settings are meant as guidance to find your optimal print settings. These ranges in settings should work for most printers, but please do feel free to experiment outside these ranges if you think it is suitable for your printer. There is a lot of different type of printers, hot-ends, and printer offset that it is extremely difficult to give an overall one-size-fits-all setting.
