Idaho Production of PLA Filament for 3D Printing of PPE

As the need for medical PPE has increased there has come to be a shortage of the materials used to make it. This is true even for 3D Printed medical items. The supply chains are not currently able to react quickly enough to deliver filament where necessary.

So at Slant 3D we have turned our 3D filament extrusion lines toward the problem and will begin producing affordable PLA for the use by 3D Printers, in our local Idaho and beyond, to make medical protective gear.

We have first released Transparent PLA to be used to print headbands and other devices.

For Pickup in Treasure Valley

This ProPLA filament was put into production to fill a local need for filament and can be picked up at Print Farm Beta in Caldwell Idaho (See product description for address)

PLA Filament Shipped Nationally

We have also made the basic transparnent pla filament available with shipping throughout the US. If you have a bulk order please contact us.

There is a dramatic shortage of 3D Printing filament due to Covid-19. Therefore we are releasing filament that we traditionally produce for use inside of our 3D Printer farms.

This high quality PLA is the latest generation of polymers created by Natureworks. Slant 3D has been using literally tons of this material in house to produce hundreds of thousands of parts for clients and medical relief devices since in the outbreak of coronavirus.

These are limited batches created solely to stem the supply shortage brought on by covid-19 as affordably as possible. We hope that this material will be used in the production of faceshields and other PPE.
