PLA+ Filament Datasheet

What is PLA?

PLA or Polylactic Acid is a range of unique bio-plastics. It is both bio-based and biodegradable. Polylactic Acid, commonly known as PLA, is one of the most popular materials used in desktop 3D printing. It is the default filament of choice for most extrusion-based 3D printers. It can be printed at a low temperature and does not require a heated bed. In this article, we will cover everything regarding our PLA Filament Datasheet.

PLA is a great first material to use as you are learning about 3D printing. It is easy to print, very inexpensive, and creates parts that can be used for a wide variety of applications. PLA is also one of the most environmentally friendly filaments on the market today.

It is developed from crops such as corn and sugarcane. PLA is renewable and most importantly biodegradable. As a bonus, this also allows the plastic to give off a sweet aroma during printing.

Reduced Carbon Footprint

PLA bio-plastic enables products to be produced with high bio-based content and a reduced carbon footprint. With our PLA+, we offer a 75% reduction in carbon footprint compared to most traditional fossil-based plastics. PLA is produced from renewable feedstocks like sugarcane, corn, sugar beet, and cassava.

High Heat Resistance

In the past, most PLA had a major drawback; this issue produced a lower resistance to increased temperatures. However, our PLA+ has developed a highly heat-resistant solution for PLA-based bioplastics. Usually, PLA’s melting temperature is at around 160°C to 180°C. Our high heat-resistant PLA+ can melt up to 230°C.

Prototyping and Final Production

The main advantage of our 3D filament is to produce efficient prototypes. You will spend less and create a high-quality end project. Compared to regular PLA, our PLA+ is an excellent material to produce mechanical pieces. It has high resistance to friction, temperature, and good mechanical properties. Always make sure to calibrate the flow of your printer for efficient printing.

Another advantage of our 3D filament is that we have excellent layer adhesion. It prints up to 75° angled layers that can help save time and material. PLA is a perfect filament for beginners. PLA+ can be printed on all surfaces (glass, acrylic, plastic, metal, etc.). It has an amazing layer-smooth finish and is perfect for characters, busts, and toys.
