Introduction to Punkroma™ PLA Translucent Filament

Japanese company Sunstella, located in Toshima, Tokyo, has recently announced the release of Polymaker’s innovative new material, the Punkroma™ PLA Translucent Filament and Punkroma™ PLA Translucent Rainbow Filament, set to debut on November 10, 2025. These products expand on the established Punkroma series, introducing a “transparent color expression” to 3D printing enthusiasts in Japan.

The Punkroma™ series, renowned for its vibrant colors and textures, now offers a translucent option, allowing for creative applications like thin-wall modeling, light-transmitting display models, lamp shades, and decorative parts. This release presents exciting new options for artists and designers seeking to enhance their projects with unique visual effects.

Features of Punkroma™ PLA Translucent Filament

Exceptional Translucent Effects

The Punkroma™ PLA Translucent and Translucent Rainbow filaments feature a design that transmits light, enabling printers to achieve stunning glow effects and depth even with thin walls or single-layer prints. This property opens up new possibilities for artistic expressions in 3D printing applications, from lighting elements to intricate decorations.

High Compatibility with Printers

These filaments are compatible with a wide range of FDM/FFF desktop 3D printers and do not require special settings for use. Whether you own an open-frame or an enclosed printer, you can utilize these materials without hassle. For Bambu Lab printer users, specific parameter information is available on the Polymaker wiki, ensuring that all users can maximize the potential of these filaments.

Accurate Lithophane Printing Options

Offering a color range that includes translucent cyan, magenta, yellow, gray, and natural, this filament range allows for faithful and vibrant reproduction of colors in lithophane printing—an art form where light passes through a 3D printed model to create a glowing image. Sunstella also holds stock of lithophane boards made by Bambu Lab to further enhance the 3D printing experience with diverse capabilities.

Meeting Growing Demands for Aesthetic Creations

In recent years, 3D printed objects have transcended their initial roles as mere prototypes or enclosures, leading to an increased demand for aesthetic applications such as lighting fixtures, clear parts, decorative models, and event display pieces. Punkroma™ translucent PLA is developed to meet the creative sector's needs for “light/transparent” attributes, providing an easy-to-use material conducive to artistic creation.

From beginners to experienced creators, this filament enables a wide range of visual expressions, including backlit models, LED-enhanced displays, and multi-layer translucent color presentations. In conjunction with the product launch, Sunstella plans to initiate a “Translucent Filament Creation Campaign” to encourage user-generated design examples and expand the utility of these materials in practical scenarios.
