The Treed Monumental filament is a special polymer blend containing marble powder to recreate the finish and touch of real marble. Another exciting feature of the Monumental filament is its UV resistance which makes it suitable for outdoor use. The Monumental filament does not exhibit signs of warping and it can be post-processed with sandpaper and water.

This procedure will not only conceal 3D printing layers, imperfections and support marks but also accentuate the marble-like tactile feeling. Nevertheless, as opposed to the Treed Monumental Evo filament, the Monumental filament does not change color to aged marble when sanded.

The ideal applications for the Treed Monumental filament are in the fields of architecture, design, art and archaeology for the 3D printing of interior and exterior decorations, set props, the recreation of antique artifacts, or even the crafting of costume jewelry or clothing details for movie sets. The ease of printing, UV resistance and processability make the Treed Monumental filament a truly versatile and user friendly material that with the help of additive manufacturing can be transformed into something unique and inspiring or even contribute to the preservation and restoration of patrimony and museum artifacts.
