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: ≥ 0.15mmLayer height: ≥ 0.1mmExperience level: Beginner
Print temp: ± 190 - 210° CFan speed: 50-100% 
Heat bed: ± 0 - 60° CEnclosure 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.
