PLA filaments

PLA (polylactic acid) is a biodegradable plastic based on corn that produces a smell reminiscent of frying vegetable oil when melted.

Thanks to its versatile material properties, environmental friendliness, and affordability, it is a good choice for many projects.

The material PLA is used in 3D printing where emphasis is on the appearance of the print. In our offer, you will find a wide range of colors including basic and unusual shades.

PLA is suitable for printing large models due to its low deformation, but you can also use it for printing smaller components and parts.

Advantages

  • high hardness and durability
  • low deformation
  • easy to work with
  • low melting temperature
  • can be further processed after printing (painting, sanding, etc.)

Disadvantages

  • brittle
  • easily absorbs moisture
