PLA

Member

Standard Material for Everyday 3D Printing

PLA is a biodegradable thermoplastic derived from renewable resources such as corn starch or sugarcane. It’s known for its ease of printing, low warping, and excellent surface finish making it ideal for prototypes, display models, and general purpose parts that don’t require high heat resistance.
