PLA (Polylactic acid) is biodegradable and carbon neutral. It is commonly used in the 3D printing industry thanks to its low thermal expansion coefficient. This means less warping and curling during printing. PLA is not as tough as other plastics, but delivers prints with very high dimensional accuracy and is easy to print with.
Perfect for those who are new to 3D printing and ideal for printing objects with flat surfaces, hard angles and ones requiring tight tolerances for fit. Commonly used for prototypes, educational architectural models, and artifact replicas. It's a popular choice for users looking to paint objects after they have been printed, such as costume props and figurines.
PLA filaments should be stored in a cool dry place since PLA tends to absorbs moisture from the atmosphere which can compromise quality and performance.
Hello3D produces high quality 3D filaments using 100% virgin raw materials. The company has ISO 9001 quality certification as well as ROHS Certification from SGS testing.
