Detailed complex geometries – PLA is ideal for those models and prototypes that need and good surface quality and aesthetic detail. Also, is the perfect material for printing part that contain overhangs, complex geometries and intricate curves.
Fast Tooling and iterative design – PLA allows for a rapid and economic iteration of different designs: use it to fast-track the manufacture of jigs and fixtures for your production chain.
Affordable concept design – The process of developing the conceptual design of a product using 3D printing reduces the costs of product development and allows the evaluation of the functionality of the specific part. PLA is a perfect material for that kind of prototypes.
Variety of colours – Colours express different feelings and emotions; if we know how to play with them and use them when appropriate, our designs will be a success.
Applications
- Architectural mockups
- Aesthetic, concept models
- Investment casting moulds
- Low mechanically demanding prototypes
