Selected job
Prototype fast I need form and fit today
Dimensional accuracy and clean surfaces at speed. Parts live indoors and get replaced by the next revision.
Grades that fit
7 grades can hold it.
The same catalogue read along the job: each grade with its heat deflection, its chamber requirement and the thing to watch when printing it.
| Grade | Family | Heat deflection | Chamber | Watch out |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PLA Matte | PLA | 53–60 °C | Not required | The mineral filler is mildly abrasive — expect a brass nozzle to last months, not years. |
| PLA High Speed | PLA | 53 °C | Not required | Fast printing needs cooling to match. Below 100 % fan, overhangs droop. |
| PLA-CF | PLA | 54 °C | Not required | Brittle. Carbon fibre raises modulus and lowers impact tolerance at the same time. |
| PETG Core | PETG | 76–78 °C | Optional | Sticks to smooth PEI hard enough to pull chips out. Use a textured plate or glue as a release layer. |
| PETG 2.0 | PETG | 71 ± 4 °C | Not required | Less stringing does not mean moisture stops mattering. The maker still specifies drying at 60–65 °C — a wet spool strings like any PETG. |
| PETG Matte | PETG | 70 °C | Optional | A matte surface scatters light, so colours are always opaque — there is no clear version. The maker's own datasheet contradicts itself on bed temperature (60–70 °C in the table, 90–100 °C with an enclosure in the notes); test on your own plate. |
| Precision Resin | Resin | — | — | Model resins are brittle by design. Do not use them for parts under sustained load. |
The properties on this page are values published in the named manufacturers' data sheets, measured on their grades to the standard printed against each row — not measurements of a ZORVA spool. Use them to compare material classes, not as an acceptance specification.

PLA Matte
Basalt Grey
Neutral grey reads shape before colour — the default for design review prints.
PLA Matte
Forest Green
Deep enough to hide layer lines in photographs without going black.
PLA Matte
Warm Core
The brand paper colour. Off-white, so prints do not photograph blue.
PLA High Speed
Molten Orange
High visibility for parts that need to be found on a bench.
PLA High Speed
Graphite
Draft prints in the same colour as the final part, so reviews stay honest.
PLA High Speed
Arrival Lime
Silk finish over high-speed base — fast prints that still look finished.
PLA High Speed
Spectrum Shift
Colour shifts along the spool length on the same fast-flow formula — not a different polymer, just a different pigment lay-up. The swatch above is one point in the real gradient.
PLA-CF
Carbon Graphite
Fibre colour is the part colour. No pigment, no colour shift between batches.
PETG Core
Natural
Light passes through — useful for level windows and diffusers.
PETG Core
Steel Grey
The technical grey from the ZORVA palette. Hides scuffs on shop parts.
PETG Core
Signal Orange
For guards, handles and anything that should be obvious in a machine.
PETG Core
Graphite
Standard housing colour. Takes a vapour-free polish with fine abrasive.
PETG Core
Aurora Pearl
A silk sheen that shifts faintly with viewing angle, on the same toughness and water resistance as PETG Core — no strength traded away for looks.
PETG 2.0
Clear
Strings show worst on a clear part — this is the colour that tells you whether the new formula earns its price.
PETG 2.0
Graphite
Standard housing colour for a fast machine. Matches PETG Core Graphite, so the two can swap within one assembly.
PETG 2.0
Spectrum Shift
Colour shifts along the spool length on the same low-string PETG 2.0 formula — still dry it before printing like every other colour in this line.
PETG Matte
Charcoal
A matte black that hides fingerprints — for housings and grips that should look moulded.
PETG Matte
Bone
A matte off-white for homeware and planters — it takes water, which PLA Matte cannot do for long.
Precision Resin
Precision Grey
Neutral grey photographs detail better than any other resin colour.
