Description
PLA is a plant-based thermoplastic used in FDM 3D printing. It's easy to print, offers good aesthetics, and is the ideal choice for prototypes, models, gadgets, and decorative objects.
PLA melts at relatively low temperatures and doesn't require a particularly hot heatbed, making it suitable for simple to medium-sized geometries. It's not suitable for mechanical parts or applications requiring heat resistance.
Main features:
- Excellent aesthetic result
- Easy to print
- Good rigidity
- Not suitable for high temperatures
- Not suitable for structural parts
Technical specifications
- Moving parts: No
- Watertightness: No (requires post-processing)
- For food: No
- Dishwasher safe: No
- Recyclable: Yes
- Heat resistance: ~55–60°C
