Material Performance Profile

Conductive PLA (ESD) – PLA CNT-Enhanced Filament | Matter3D (0.5 kg)

Matter3D’s Conductive Filament Family is engineered for reliable electrostatic discharge (ESD) control using advanced CNT technology. Each material is compounded in-house for stable resistivity, clean dispersion, and predictable mechanical performance. These filaments combine the inherent strengths of their base polymers with consistent electrostatic protection—ideal for tooling, fixtures, housings, and electronics-handling equipment in industrial environments.

Conductive PLA ESD blends our premium PLA formulation with a precisely dispersed CNT additive to deliver reliable electrostatic discharge performance (10⁶–10⁹ Ω·cm) while maintaining exceptional printability. This material offers strong dimensional accuracy, low warp, excellent layer adhesion, and a clean surface finish—making it ideal for ESD-safe fixtures, covers, trays, organizers, and functional prototypes. Conductive PLA provides dependable static control in an easy-to-use, highly stable printing platform suitable for both beginners and industrial users.

FAQ

Conductive PLA – Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes Matter3D Conductive PLA different?

A: It uses a controlled CNT loading for stable ESD performance (1×10⁵ Ω·cm class) with smooth, consistent extrusion.

Q: Is Conductive PLA safe for electronics?

A: Yes — its resistivity range helps dissipate static and reduce charge buildup, making it suitable for jigs, fixtures, and ESD-safe housings.

Q: Does Conductive PLA require special printing settings?

A: No — it prints similarly to standard PLA, with slightly higher nozzle temps improving layer adhesion.

Q: Should I dry Conductive Filament?

A: Yes. Carbon nanotubes are hygroscopic, and moisture can negatively affect layer adhesion and surface finish. Proper drying is recommended for consistent, high-quality results.
