Prototype fastI 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
5 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. |
| 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.

12 SKUs for this job
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-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.
Precision Resin
Precision Grey
Neutral grey photographs detail better than any other resin colour.
