About This Product

PLA is one of the most popular materials used in 3D printing. It is the default filament of choice for most extrusion-based 3D printers because it can be printed at a low temperature and does not require a heated bed.

■Feature

PLA is the most popular 3D printer plastic for FDM technology and can be easily sanded painted or post-processed in a different fashion. This plastic enables working on relatively low extruder temperatures and appears to be “user-friendly”. Compared to some other filaments there is no crucial need for a heated bed reinforced nozzle or printer chamber to work with it. With great details transfer and attractive surface finish it serves many generic applications ofPLA filament behaves much better than tougher plastics and usually doesn’t have a bad smell or fumes. The storage of such a material is comparatively low-key as well. On top of all that polylactic acid is produced in a big variety of colors and used as a base material for many composites with over-the-top properties.
