ACCELLERATE YOUR WORKFLOW WITHOUT COMPROMISE WITH HIGH SPEED PLA

With the steady development of high speed capable 3D printers, how quickly the filament can melt becomes a bottleneck for high flow extrusion. PolySonic™ PLA is a revolutionary high-speed 3D printing filament and game-changer for rapid additive manufacturing. With its lightning-fast extrusion rate, cutting-edge precision, and exceptional layer adhesion you can ramp up the speed of your 3D printer and witness new levels of productivity. Accelerate your workflow without compromising on strength or quality.

Features

• High Flow Extrusion - PolySonic™ PLA is a high speed PLA developed to extrude consistently at high flow rates such as 24mm³/s on popular extrusion systems (equivalent to 300mm/s at 0.2mm layer height with a 0.4mm nozzle.). PolySonic™ PLA exhibits a wider extrusion window when compared to regular PLA filaments, producing a 30% increase in flow rate at the same printing temperatures when compared to regular PLA filaments. This boost in extrusion efficiency allows users to build profiles with higher printing speeds before noticing the effects of under-extrusion on the printed part.
• Print Strong & Fast - PolySonic™ PLA offers both high rigidity, tensile strength and preserves its inherent mechanical performance during high speed printing; enabling users to increase the productivity of their machines without compromising on part strength or print quality. PolySonic™ PLA shows only a 6% drop in mechanical properties when printing at high speed compared to the classic speed. In contrast, Regular PLA (PolyLite™ PLA) witnesses a 24% drop when the speed is increased. The consistent mechanical strength of PolySonic™ PLA offers advantages for a wide range of application including functional prototyping, artistic creations, and production of end-use products.
• High Speed Accuracy - PolySonic™ PLA can switch from fluid to solid with minimal shrinkage, producing crisp corners, fine details and smooth surfaces with no shark skin effect.  PolySonic™ PLA is not only capable of melting at high speeds but also cools quickly, allowing PolySonic™ PLA to print rapidly. As the new generation of high-speed printers are equipped with auxiliary cooling, PolySonic™ is perfectly adapted to lightning printing speeds with rapid cooling characteristics.  
• Consistent Melt & Finish -  Colourful and functional, PolySonic™ PLA delivers a consistent surface finish for layers printed at high or low speeds thanks to its excellent melt properties. While regular PLA melts correctly and displays a glossy finish at lower extrusion speeds, it experiences a 'cold-core' effect at high speeds and displays a matte finish along with reduced mechanical properties. Since extrusion rate is never constant and varies as a 3D printer accelerates and decelerates, high-speed prints using regular PLA exhibit an inconsistent surface finish, alternating between glossy and matte. PolySonic™ PLA is an excellent choice for users who require both high speed and consistent surface finish.

[1] Volumetric flow rate of 24mm³/s is equivalent to 300mm/s at 0.2mm layer height with a 0.4mm nozzle.
[2] Maximum flow rate can depend on the extrusion temperature. Polymakers maximum flow rate for PolySonic™ PLA at 230˚C is 29mm³/s. Measurement of maximum flow is when extrusion decreases below 95% of the requested flow. Tested at 230˚C on a customized extrusion platform equipped with an E3D volcano hotend, 0.4mm nozzle with Hemera XS extruder. For a 0.4mm nozzle and 0.2mm layer height, 29mm³/s would be achieved with a 363mm/s printing speed. For a 0.4mm nozzle and 0.1mm layer height, 29mm³/s would be achieved with a 725mm/s printing speed.
[3] To achieve quality results, high-speed printing relies on both material and the 3D printer. Beyond material choice, quality and accuracy of a high speed print is also reliant on a high speed printer with well-tuned input shaping and pressure / linear advance.

PRINTING SETTINGS

The above are printing recommendations based on 0.4 mm nozzle. Please note ideal printing conditions may vary depending on your 3D printer setup. For high speed 3D printers, make sure to increase your extrusion temperature in order to use higher printing speeds.

Compatibility 

PolySonic™ PLA has been engineered for popular high-speed 3D printers and is capable of both high and classic 3D printing speeds.. High rigidity materials like PolySonic™ PLA work best in set ups where the filament guide system is smooth and as no harsh bends.

Please note that Polymakers Jam-Free™ technology is not implemented into PolySonic™ PLA. Jam-Free™ is a technology by Polymaker to improve compatibility with all metal hot end designs that suffer from heat creep. In this case, the exclusion of Jam-Free™ helps to ensure maximum melt-performance of the material. Many new high-speed printers have greatly improved hot-end designs so the risk of purchasing a high-speed machine that suffers from heat creep is much lower these days. If you own a regular printer that suffers from heat creep and has difficulty printing other brands of PLA due to jamming, we recommend using a different Polymaker PLA such as PolyLite™ PLA on that machine. This material is best suited for high-speed capable printers that don't suffer from heat creep.

Of course with thousands of unique 3d printer models on the market, we can't guarantee each filament type will work with every 3D printer.
