Product Background:

PLA, also known as polylactic acid, is an environmentally friendly bio based plastic made from renewable resources such as corn and cassava. Produced through the polymerization reaction of lactic acid, PLA has excellent environmental characteristics. It does not produce harmful substances or gases during the production process, and can be biodegraded in the natural environment after product use. The 3D model printed from PLA not only has good compatibility, gloss transparency, comfortable hand feel, good plasticity, easy molding, no curling edges, good toughness, not easy to break, low shrinkage rate, uniform color, good one-time molding effect, linear stability, high-speed printing, rich color, safe and environmentally friendly, and no pungent smell, but also has antibacterial, flame-retardant, and UV resistant properties. These characteristics make PLA widely used in multiple fields, including but not limited to packaging, fiber products, non-woven fabrics, etc. PLA also plays an important role in industries such as clothing, construction, agriculture, forestry, papermaking, home and personal 3D printing, and healthcare.

Filament Feature:

  • Easy to Print: Low melting point, fast flow, and less likely to clog the nozzle. Low warping and good adhesion to the print bed, making it beginner- friendly.
  • High- Quality Printability: The filament has good rigidity, and the printed model has good hardness and strength, making it durable as a structural component. Low shrinkage rate, performs well even when printing larger models.
  • Various Colors Available: PLA filament is available in an extensive array of colors and finishes. This broad selection allows users to choose the perfect hue for their projects, whether they are creating vibrant prototypes, artistic pieces, or functional parts.
  • Eco- Friendly and Versatile: PLA filaments have biodegradability, safety, environmental friendliness, excellent mechanical and physical properties, pure and diverse colors, good toughness of wires and finished products, wide application potential, good compatibility and degradability, and no harmful gases or unpleasant odors during printing.

Product shortage:

  • Long term exposure of PLA to air can cause moisture and affect printing quality.
  • It has poor temperature resistance and is easily deformed at high temperatures.

Tips:

It is recommended to store unused filaments in a vacuum or sealed container as soon as possible to ensure printing quality.
