Subdued light and deep shadows, the beauty of origin. eSUN PLA-Coffee New Product Launch
Coffee Grounds × 3D Printing
From coffee grounds to a brand-new 3D printing material
This is a recycling and reuse of waste
It is also a re-exploration of material texture
Furthermore, it is an aesthetic experiment of re-encountering nature
When coffee grounds are integrated into bio-based PLA, every print
possesses a touch and expression closer to nature
Benefiting from the deep integration of coffee ground particles, PLA-Coffee, under the effect of diffuse reflection characteristics, sheds the surface reflection of plastic materials and presents a delicate micro-particle matte texture in natural light and shadow, as if it comes with a gentle “soft-focus” filter.
Highly reflective surfaces tend to amplify layer lines and distract visual focus. PLA-Coffee can better weaken printing traces, allowing viewers to focus their eyes on the outline, proportion, and curved surface of the model itself, thereby enabling a purer presentation of the design language.
II. Earth Tones
In terms of color tone, PLA-Coffee presents a mild and mellow earth tone system. This natural color originating from soil, wood, and plants naturally aligns with the rustic and wabi-sabi aesthetic temperament.
Whether used for plant planters, desktop ornaments, or customized works such as pour-over coffee equipment, it can easily blend into wooden and warm-toned home spaces, adding a timeless sense of companionship to daily objects.
III. Sustainable Expression
Beyond aesthetics, it is also a response to nature.
Materials not only determine the presentation method of a design but also carry the value expression of the creator. We process daily generated coffee grounds through dehydration, grinding, and modification, integrating them into bio-based PLA materials in a brand-new form, completing a circular regeneration from waste to creative materials.
This is not only a reduction of the carbon footprint but also allows every work printed with it to imperceptibly complete a sustainable expression.
eSUN PLA-Coffee is now officially on sale.
The vitality of materials is ultimately endowed by the creators.
We look forward to seeing this brand-new material grow into more possibilities in your creations.
