PLA is the most widely used plastic filament material in FDM 3D
printing, due to its low melting point, high strength, low thermal
expansion, and good layer adhesion, although it possesses poor heat
resistance unless annealed.
PLA Features:
- PLA or polylactic acid is a material originating from renewable
natural sources that contains starch or sugar, such as corn, wheat,
sugar cane, beetroot or potato;
- The easiest for 3d printing;
- Generally the first filament which we start the 3d printings;
- Ideal for interior designs or prototypes;
- Good adhesion between layers;
- Suitable for contact with food;
- Not recommended for parts that will be exposed to temperatures up 70ºC.
Printing temperatures and suggestions:
For Printer maintenance:
After printing with other materials and in case of changing the
filament to PLA, we suggest that you preheat the printer to the PETG or
ABS temperature and then insert the PLA filament. This process prevents
clogging in any transition of filament types.
