PLA is Poly-Lactic-Acid, a biodegradable polymer with a low melting point. It is an easy material to print with and Ultrafuse PLA gives a smooth printing result. This most used 3D printing material is available in a wide range of RAL and Ultrafuse colours and translucent variants. When properly cooled, PLA has a higher maximum printing speed, lower layer heights and sharper printed corners. Combining this with low warping of the print makes it a popular plastic for makers, prosumers and schools.
The reason for the popularity in the 3D-printing world is it’s easy to use. But don’t underestimate the biobased factor as we live in a more conscious world.
