PLA

PLA (polylactide) is a thermoplastic polymer made from renewable resources. This feature sets it apart from other commonly used plastics. PLA is ideal for low-cost prototyping and functional parts under light loads.

Usage / Features

PLA is made from renewable resources, such as corn starch, making it biodegradable and environmentally friendly. It does not shrink significantly when cooling, leading to high dimensional accuracy and minimal risk of warping during printing.
