A new premium 3D printing filament has been launched via Kickstarter specifically formulated for the creative arts and aptly named the Art Filament. Created by interior designer and architect Douglas Larsen, Art Filament has been specifically created with artists in mind offering a high quality filament in a curated palette of 10 complimentary colours, offering a matte finish. Watch the introductory video below to learn more about its composition and finish.
Unique Branding and Packaging
“Our product has a two different branding schemes. The product we will ship at the beginning of this Kickstarter campaign will be packaged in our alpha branding and sold at an early bird, discounted price. Once that inventory has completely sold out, we will start shipping product packaged in our updated branding, which is shown above. This may confuse some customers at first, but rest assured, it’s the same premium Art Filament inside!”
This dual branding strategy is designed to create a sense of exclusivity and urgency among early backers. The alpha branding is a limited edition, making it a collector’s item for those who support the project early on. The updated branding, which will be used for subsequent shipments, features a more refined and polished look, aligning with the premium nature of the product. This approach not only rewards early supporters but also helps in building a strong brand identity from the outset.
Technical Specifications and Artistic Applications
Art Filament is now available from Kickstarter as PLAm. 1.75mm and 3mm filament for 3D printers, providing a matte finish and a curated colour selection. The filament is designed to work seamlessly with a variety of 3D printers, ensuring that artists can focus on their creativity without worrying about technical compatibility issues.
The matte finish of the Art Filament is particularly noteworthy. Unlike glossy filaments that can reflect light and obscure details, the matte finish allows for a more nuanced and sophisticated appearance. This makes it ideal for creating intricate sculptures, detailed models, and other artistic projects where surface texture and color fidelity are crucial.
Moreover, the curated palette of 10 complimentary colours has been carefully selected to meet the diverse needs of artists. Whether you’re working on a monochromatic piece or a vibrant, multi-colored project, the Art Filament offers the versatility you need. The colors are designed to blend well together, providing a harmonious look that enhances the overall aesthetic of your work.
Community and Support
Douglas Larsen and his team are committed to building a community around the Art Filament. They plan to offer extensive support to backers, including tutorials, project ideas, and a forum for sharing tips and experiences. This community-driven approach aims to foster a collaborative environment where artists can learn from each other and push the boundaries of what’s possible with 3D printing.
Additionally, the Kickstarter campaign offers various pledge options to suit different needs and budgets. Early bird backers can take advantage of discounted prices, while those looking for a more comprehensive package can opt for bundles that include multiple spools of filament and other accessories.
