Panchromaâ„¢ UV Shift PLA: Color Changing from Natural to Orange Under UV Light
Dynamic UV-Activated Color Change
Panchromaâ„¢ UV Shift PLA is a unique filament that appears natural in regular light but shifts to a vibrant orange color when exposed to UV or black light. This dramatic transformation adds an exciting visual effect to your prints, making them stand out under UV illumination.
Perfect for Creative and Functional Applications
Ideal for artistic projects, signage, cosplay, and any print that benefits from a color-changing effect triggered by UV light. It offers a fun and interactive way to enhance your 3D models.
Reliable Printing Performance
Formulated for smooth and consistent printing on most FDM/FFF 3D printers using standard PLA settings. Due to the UV-reactive additives, it is recommended to use a hardened nozzle for regular printing to prevent wear.
Rebranded for Clarity
Formerly known as PolyLiteâ„¢ PLA UV Color Changing, Panchromaâ„¢ UV Shift PLA retains the same trusted formulation and performance under the Panchromaâ„¢ brand.
Choose Panchromaâ„¢ UV Shift PLA to create prints that transform color under UV light, adding a captivating and dynamic effect to your 3D projects.
Formerly called PolyLiteâ„¢ PLA UV Color Changing.
Is there a difference between Panchromaâ„¢ UV Shift PLA and PolyLiteâ„¢ PLA UV Color Changing?
No! Same great material just under a new product family name.
What is there a difference between Panchromaâ„¢ Neon PLA and Panchromaâ„¢ UV Shift PLA?
The difference lies in what color the filament is when not under UV light. Neon will remain the same color it will glow under UV light, while UV Shift PLA will stay a natural color until under UV light.
Is Panchromaâ„¢ UV Shift PLA abrasive?
Yes, it is recommended to use a hardened nozzle with UV glow materials.
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 Panchromaâ„¢ spools now have hardened edges that roll great in the AMS
Do you sell refills?
We are sorry but we do not sell refills at this time
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 Panchromaâ„¢?
Panchromaâ„¢ 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 Panchromaâ„¢ products are PLA except for those listed under "experimental".
