RS Components (RS) has expanded its 3D printing offering with the availability of high-quality plastic filament from Verbatim. The PLA and ABS ranges are available in 1,75 mm diameter filament; the PLA range is also supplied in 3 mm diameter. Both are offered on 1 kg spools and in an assortment of vibrant colours including red, green and blue.
PLA (PolyLactic Acid) filament is a biodegradable plastic derived from corn and is guaranteed not to include heavy metals or common chemicals such as phthalates and Bisphenol-A (BPA). ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) filament is a co-polymer made from styrene, acryl and butadiene, and is both impact resistant and tough.
Manufactured in Japan, both materials meet extremely tight tolerances, ensuring consistent feed and stable printing. The filaments are distributed in vacuum-sealed bags with desiccant and are wound on to a spool for easy dispensing. They are compatible with a wide range of 3D printers.
