PLA is one of the most used materials for 3D printing. Ultrafuse® PLA is available in a wide range of colors. The glossy feel often attracts those who print display models or items for household use. Many appreciate the plant-based origin of this material.
PLA filament (polylactic acid or polylactide filament) is a thermoplastic made from renewable resources such as corn starch, tapioca roots or sugar cane, unlike other industrial materials made primarily from petroleum.
What is better, PLA or ABS? PLA is stronger and stiffer than ABS, but poor heat-resistance properties means PLA is mostly a hobbyist material. ABS is weaker and less rigid, but also tougher and lighter, making it a better plastic for prototyping applications.
When properly cooled, PLA has a high maximum printing speed and sharp printed corners. Combining this with low warping of the print makes PLA a popular plastic for prototyping and home printers, hobbyists and schools.
