Beautiful Matte Gradient Effect
Panchroma™ Matte Gradient PLA is a bioplastic-based 3D printing filament that features seamless color transitions along the spool, creating stunning gradient effects in your prints. The matte finish adds a soft, elegant touch, making each model visually unique and appealing.
Next-Generation PLA for Reliable Printing
Engineered from the ground up, this filament offers exceptional ease of use, consistent print quality, fast print speeds, and dependable reliability. It is suitable for both beginners and experienced users, working smoothly on most FDM/FFF 3D printers without the need for special adjustments.
Eco-Conscious and User-Friendly
Made from sustainable bioplastic, Panchroma™ Matte Gradient PLA is an environmentally friendly choice that doesn’t compromise on performance or aesthetics.
Rebranded for Clarity
Formerly known as PolyTerra™ Gradient PLA, Panchroma™ Matte Gradient PLA delivers the same trusted quality and beautiful color transitions under its new, more intuitive name.
Choose Panchroma™ Matte Gradient PLA when you want to create prints with smooth, eye-catching color gradients and enjoy the reliability and ease of next-generation PLA.
Formerly called PolyTerra™ Gradient PLA.
Is there a difference between Panchroma™ Gradient Matte PLA and PolyTerra™ Gradient PLA?
No! This is the same great material - just under a new product family name.
Is Panchroma™ Gradient Matte PLA biodegradable?
The short answer is no in a way that it would not degrade when throwing it on the side of the road. Panchroma™ Matte PLA requires specific conditions to degrade which can be achieved in industrial composting facilities.
We developed a formula which can degrade faster than regular PLA while maintaining excellent printability which allows a step forward towards improving the end of life of our PLA in our industry.

Is this material food safe?
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.
Is this material AMS compatible?
Yes! All Panchroma spools now have hardened edges that roll great in the AMS
Is this material recyclable?
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.
What is Panchroma™?
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".
Can I mix and match effects into a single HueForge print?
This material will mix and match great with all other Panchroma™ effects, except those listed under "experimental".
