Weather Resistent 3D Printing Filament for Outdoor Use
Basic Information of 3D Printing Filament for Outdoor Use
Weather resistent 3D printing filament for outdoor use is a kind of thermoplastic material used in fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printers. It is a long, thin strand of material (typically 1.75 mm or 2.85 mm in diameter) which is melted and extruded through a heated nozzle to build three-dimensional objects layer by layer. Different types of filaments are available on current market, including PLA, PETG, ASA, TPU, ABS, nylon, etc.
Different types of filaments have different applications, and one important application is the signage printing, especially for LED illuminated signages. In order to print good LED illuminated signages, some key factors need to be considered. Iroga’s weather resistent 3D printing filament for outdoor use is named PETG-S which is designed for signages especially outdoor illuminated signages and LED channel letters, it is UV resistant, high temperature resistent, low temperature resistent, waterproof, and easy to be printed in FDM 3D printers, it is perfect for long-term outdoor use, external use or exterior use.

PETG-S is a type of industrial filament which means it has superior performance for signage printing and it is produced for industrial purpose, manufacturing industrial 3D printing filament involves several key steps, from material selection, compounding & pelletizing to filament extrusion, filament spooling, and quality control, filament packaging, etc. If you have the interest to know more about the key steps of production for weather resistent 3D printing filament, click here on how to make 3D printing filament from A to Z.
At the moment, we have some regular colors available for PETG-S, such as opaque white, opaque black, opaque gray, translucent white, translucent red, translucent orange, translucent yellow, translucent green, translucent blue, translucent turquoise, translucent rosy, and translucent clear color as well. Anyway, if we don’t have the color you require, then it could be customized as per your requirement, and the MOQ of one customized color is 100 rolls. The PETG-S from IROGA 3D can be printed both in 3D model printers and 3D signage printers (3D letter printing machines), both for amateur users and professional users, both for indoor products and outdoor products.
