Panchroma™ Gradient Matte PLA 1.75mm 3D Printer Filament

Panchroma™ Gradient Matte PLA creates beautiful, seamless color transitions along the length of the filament, producing unique multi-color effects without requiring multiple spools or complex color changes. The matte surface gives prints a smooth, soft appearance while helping reduce the visibility of layer lines.

Formerly known as PolyTerra™ Gradient PLA, Panchroma™ Gradient Matte PLA uses the same trusted material formulation under Polymaker's updated Panchroma™ product family. It is designed for reliable printing with excellent ease of use on most FDM/FFF 3D printers.

With printing speeds of up to 300 mm/s, Panchroma™ Gradient Matte PLA provides a balance of visual quality and efficient printing. Its bioplastic-based PLA formulation makes it a versatile choice for decorative models, artistic pieces, figurines, cosplay, and other visually focused applications.

Available in a wide range of gradient combinations, including Pastel Rainbow, Cappuccino, Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, Wood, Tropical Squeeze, Lavender Fizz, Mint Splash, Sky, Sandstorm, and Tornado.

Additional Information

Panchroma™ Gradient Matte PLA is designed to print reliably on standard FDM/FFF 3D printers without special hardware or modifications. Older or slower printers may benefit from reduced printing speeds.

The material is slightly more abrasive than regular PLA, although Polymaker does not specify a hardened nozzle as a requirement for standard printing.

Panchroma™ Gradient Matte PLA is compatible with other Panchroma™ effect materials for multi-material and HueForge projects, except materials designated as experimental by Polymaker.

The material requires specific industrial composting conditions to degrade and should not be considered biodegradable under normal outdoor conditions.
