Data Sheet

Description

PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a biodegradable, sustainable and food safe polymer

made from organic sources.

It is the most common used lament in FFF 3D printers for its ease of use and awide

range of applications, especially those not mechanically or thermally demanding.

Denitely a good starting point to learn about the 3D Printing manufacturing process.

Properties

• Detailed and glossy surface quality

• Good tensile strength

• Rigid, fragile behaviour

• Good UV resistance

• Withstand operating temperatures up to 50 °C.

• Odor-free, ideal for educational and ofce environments

• Compatible with PVA supports

• Low humidity resistance

Recomendations

Plastics absorb moisture from the air. For long periods of time without printing, it is

recommended to keep the PLA spools in a box or airtight container with desiccant

to keep them dry.

PLA emits low levels of gasses and particles when printed. We recommend printing

it in a well-ventilated area to ensure a healthy environment.
