Why You Should Purchase Ascent Special Type Filament for Channel Letter 3D Printing

Differences between the standard filament and special channel letter filament:

1. Light Transmission

Channel letter filaments have two kinds of transmittance: Lightproof and Semi-transparent. In many cases, you will need a lighttight letter wall; here, we take white color filament as an example:

This is the solid color filament. It cannot be entirely opaque to light, which makes the letter wired.

Special channel letter filament can be completely tight to light
Button
Normal filament doesn't have enough transparency when you want 50% transparence.
Button
Semi-transparent special channel letter filament will give you expectational even and soft light.

Pigment Leaching

If you use liquid acrylic, you need stable color material.

The development of normal 3D printing filament does not take this into account, so the pigment in the material will be dissolved by liquid acrylic, and leach into the liquid acrylic. (Black pigments are magenta when diluted many times)

Differences between our channel letter filament and other channel letter filaments:

Toughness and assembling

When assembling the LED light or PMMA panels, the material's toughness is a must.

When you try to squeeze the letter when installing the PMMA panel, the letter 3D printed with normal PLA filament will be broken.
Button
But special channel letter filament is acceptable for the squeezing. Our channel letter filament has even higher toughness than other filaments on the market. The letter won’t break down when it falls on the floor

Low-temperature impact when printing

When 3D printing large objects/letters, normal filament will require a very warm and stable temperature environment when printing large objects/letters. If lower temperature air blows, the object/letter will warp, and 3D printing will fail.
Button
Our channel letter filament can withstand cold air impact without warping and ensures stable printing progress.
Button

High and long edges do not distort

When printing long, straight, and high edges (like over 12 inches long, 3 inches in height), a normal channel letter filament will cause the letter to distort. It will make subsequent installation procedures much hard.
Button
Our channel letter filament works excellent when printing large and thick letters without distortion.
Button

Low shear force and high fluidity, suitable for high-speed printing

Our channel letter filaments have a low shear force and high fluidity. Those are essential features for high-speed extruding in the print head.

Those features are a must when using our high-speed channel letter 3D printer. Let Ascent Equipment experts in the field of channel letter bending machines assemble all the pieces of the equipment puzzle for your company.
