3D Printing Consumables for 3D Signage Printers and 3D Model Printers
Basic Information of 3D Printing Consumables
3D printing consumables, also called 3D printing materials or 3D printing filament, 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 3D printing consumables are available on current market, including PLA, PETG, ASA, TPU, ABS, nylon, etc. These 3D printing consumables in opaque color can be used for both for 3D signage printers and 3D model printers.
Different types of consumables have different applications, and one important application is the signage printing, especially LED illuminated signages and channel letters. In order to print good LED illuminated signages and channel letters, some key factors need to be considered. Iroga’s durable 3D printing consumables are designed for indoor and outdoor signage, it is named PETG-S which is especially good for outdoor illuminated signages and LED channel letters, it is durable, UV resistant, high temperature resistent, low temperature resistent, waterproof, and easy to be printed in FDM 3D printers, it is perfect for long time indoor and outdoor use, exterior use or external use.

PETG-S is a type of industrial material which means it has superior performance for signage printing and it is produced for industrial purpose, manufacturing 3D printing consumables 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 producing durable 3D printing consumables for indoor and outdoor signage, 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, opaque green, 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 (3D model printing machines) and 3D signage printers (3D signage printing machines), both for amateur users and professional users, both for indoor products and outdoor products.
