Description
PLA is a tough, easy to use high grade PLA type of filament, ideal for 3D printing. Slightly modified, the filament retains the typical features of PLA, but makes it tougher and less brittle. Due to a low shrinkage factor PLA will not deform after cooling. Poly Lactic Acid is a biodegradable plastic made from renewable natural resources and one of the most popular materials for 3D printing.
Material features:
- Tougher and less brittle compared to regular PLA
- Easy to print at low temperature
- Low warping
- Biodegradable
- Limited smell
Colors:
PLA is available from stock in 33 bright colors.
Packaging:
PLA is available in nearly any type of packaging and labelling.

Additional info:
Due to its low tendency to warp PLA can also be printed without a heated bed. If you have a heated bed the recommended temperature is ± 35-60˚C.
PLA can be used on all common desktop FDM or FFF technology 3D printers.
Storage: Cool and dry (15-25˚C) and away from UV light. This enhances the shelf life significantly.
