Do both Matte PLA and PLA Pro support High Speed printing?
Yes, Matte PLA and PLA Pro can maintain their excellent performance even under high-speed printing.
What are the advantages of using a High Speed filament?
There are several advantages:
(1) Surface Quality at high speed:
When FDM is printing, the nozzle will continuously change between the min speed and max speed. The higher the max speed, the wider the range of speeds. The issue is with the printing temperature being the same, the extrusion temperature will vary dramatically making the adhesion between layers uneven. These differences are invisible to the naked eye, but they will be particularly obvious on the prints if they appear in each layer, thus making the surface quality of the prints worse. High Speed filament reduces these differences by improving the accuracy of inter-layer adhesion in a wide range of flow rates, allowing prints to have higher precision and more clear details.
(2) Mechanical Properties at high speed:
High Speed filament will display far greater overall mechanical properties when printed at higher speed than regular filament because of the more consistent extrusion and the optimized cooling/melting rate of the polymer.
(3) Higher Printing Efficiency:
Thanks to (1) and (2), the production speed has increased exponentially, and 3D printing can output the same quality part at a much higher pace. This advantage makes 3D printing more suitable for producing products.
How tough is PLA Pro?
PLA Pro adopts toughening technology, which makes its toughness exceed 90% of PLA materials on the market.

What makes PLA Pro so different from other PLA?
PLA Pro features toughening technology which significantly increases its ductility, allowing PLA Pro to exhibit excellent plastic deformation before fracture.
Does PLA have a shelf life? What should I do if PLA gets damp?
Materials products typically have no expiration date and can be used indefinitely. However, PLA filaments need to be sealed and stored after opening to prevent moisture.
If the material gets damp, bake it in a drying oven at 50–60°C for 6–8 hours before use. Please note that this method cannot restore the consumables to their optimal condition.
What is the difference between Matte PLA and PLA Pro?
PLA Pro has excellent impact resistance. The printed parts are not easy to break and have smooth surfaces, making it suitable for parts with certain requirements on toughness.
Matte PLA has higher strength and hardness. The printed parts have better wear resistance and are not easy to scratch; the surfaces have a matte frosted texture, which can better hide layer unevenness and make the prints have an excellent surface finish.
Do both Matte PLA and PLA Pro support High Speed printing?
Yes, Matte PLA and PLA Pro can maintain their excellent performance even under high-speed printing.

What’s the best SLA material for prototyping?
We recommend that you choose Precision ProX White material. Precision ProX White printed parts have a smooth and delicate surface as well as extremely high impact resistance, making it the best choice for prototyping.
What’s the best SLA material for functional prototypes?
For functional prototypes, if high impact resistance is your main design requirement, then we recommend you choose Precision ABS Gray material. Precision ABS Gray has outstanding toughness, and its comprehensive physical properties are close to ABS engineering resin. It is the best performing resin among NextShapes engineering resins.
What is castable SLA resin?
This material enables printed parts with high precision and dimensional stability and will burn out without leaving ashes or residue. Castable resin allows the production of parts directly from a digital design to investment casting through a single 3D-printed part, suitable for casting models in a variety of materials.
How to handle resin safely?
Always wear gloves
Whenever you're dealing with uncured resin, always wear gloves. Wash immediately with soap and water if contact occurs.
Ventilate your workspace
Ensure proper ventilation to avoid inhalation of resin and IPA fumes.
Dispose of properly
Cure resin before disposal. Do not pour resin down the drain.
Does NextShapes have technical support for users?
Yes, please visit NextShapes' official website and leave a message. A regional manager will assist you.

What’s the best SLA material for functional prototypes?
For functional prototypes, if high impact resistance is your main design requirement, then we recommend you choose Precision ABS Gray material. Precision ABS Gray has outstanding toughness, and its comprehensive physical properties are close to ABS engineering resin. It is the best performing resin among NextShapes engineering resins.
What is castable SLA resin?
This material enables printed parts with high precision and dimensional stability and will burn out without leaving ashes or residue. Castable resin allows the production of parts directly from a digital design to investment casting through a single 3D-printed part, suitable for casting models in a variety of materials.
How to handle resin safely?
Always wear gloves
Whenever you're dealing with uncured resin, always wear gloves. Wash immediately with soap and water if contact occurs.
Ventilate your workspace
Ensure proper ventilation to avoid inhalation of resin and IPA fumes.
Dispose of properly
Cure resin before disposal. Do not pour resin down the drain.
