Le PLA (Polylactic Acid) is one of the most widely used materials in 3D printing, thanks to its ease of use and excellent finish quality. Ideal for visual prototypesthe decorative objectsand scale modelsIt delivers smooth printing with a clean, precise finish. What's more, it's biodegradablemade from renewable resources such as corn starch, making it an environmentally-friendly choice.
✔ Easy to print No need for a high heating plate or closed enclosure.
✔ Excellent surface quality Smooth finishes, suitable for decorative objects and visual prototypes.
✔ Ecological and biodegradable : A more environmentally-friendly alternative to other plastics.
✔ Low deformation Less prone to warping, suitable for printing large parts.
✔ Available in a wide range of colours and finishes Ideal for personalised printing.
✅ Rapid prototyping Ideal for testing designs before final validation.
✅ Decorative objects Vases, sculptures, artistic pieces, design accessories.
✅ Models and model making Creating detailed, accurate scale models.
✅ Education and leisure Ideal for educational and experimental printing.
✅ Figurines and gadgets Making personalised objects with a beautiful finish.
