Lotactree PLA-Gradient Filament
Smooth color transitions within a single spool create striking multi-color effects without multi-material printing. With the reliable printability of PLA, it delivers stable extrusion, low warping, and strong layer adhesion—ideal for decorative and artistic prints.
TCT Asia 2026 Recap | A Step Forward in How We Showcase Materials
TCT Asia 2026 Recap | A Step Forward in How We Showcase Materials At the recently concluded TCT Asia 2026, we presented a very different kind of presence compared to previous years.If last year’s Formnext Shenzhen was more about product display, this time we focused on upgrading how we present and communicate materials—making them not just visible, but truly understood and experienced. From “Display” to “Experience” In the past, our booth design centered around clean and structured product arrangements.This year, we made a key shift: Not just showing products, but creating a layered viewing experience. We introduced a dedicated “feature exhibition area,” with a redesigned layout and visitor flow—so that anyone stepping into the booth would naturally be drawn in and encouraged to explore. Large-Scale Prints: Let the Material Speak One of the biggest upgrades this year was our choice of display format: Using large-scale printed models to showcase material performance. Compared to smaller samples, larger prints make it much easier to directly experience: · Structural stability and print reliability · Surface finish and fine details · Visual differences between materials These are things that don’t need much explanation—they speak for themselves. Many visitors were drawn in by a single model, stopping to observe, touch, and start conversations naturally. Material Display Wall: Clearer Choices, Stronger Identity In addition to the models, we also created a feature filament display wall, organized by product series.This not only enhanced the overall visual consistency of the booth, but also made it easier for visitors to understand each material category at a glance. The highlighted series included: · PLA-E Series: Reliable and easy to use, ideal for everyday printing · PLA-F Series: A balanced combination of performance and printability · PETG Series: Durable and tough, suitable for functional parts · PLA-SILK Series: High-gloss finish for visually striking prints · PLA Gradient Series: Smooth color transitions for creative applications By combining wall displays with actual printed samples, visitors could quickly grasp the strengths of each series and find the right material for their needs. More Than a Showcase — A Connection Throughout the three-day exhibition, we connected with creators, partners, and users from around the world.Many conversations went beyond the products themselves—extending into real-world applications, printing experiences, and even creative inspiration. This reinforced something we strongly believe: Great materials are not just used—they are part of the creative process. Final Thoughts This year’s TCT Asia was more than just an exhibition for us.It was an exploration of how materials can be better presented, understood, and experienced. From upgraded display strategies to more intentional storytelling, we aim to make every appearance clearer, more engaging, and more meaningful than the last. We’ll keep refining both our materials and how we present them—so you can focus more on creating. See you next time. Want to see more highlights or request our latest product catalog?
