PLA plastic or polylactic acid is a vegetable-based plastic material, which commonly uses cornstarch as a raw material. The monomer is usually made from fermented plant starch. This material is a thermoplastic aliphatic polyester and it is the primary natural raw material used in 3D printing. PLA is a fully biodegradable thermoplastic polymer consisting of renewable raw materials. Among all 3D printing materials, PLA is part of the most popular materials used for additive manufacturing for filament fabrication. It’s easy to use, safe, affordable, and it has outstanding material properties. You can use PLA filament for a wide range of applications and it comes in an equally diverse range of composites and colors. PLA filament is a thermoplastic polymer made strictly from renewable resources. Poly Lactic Acid (PLA), is generated from biodegradable material like cornstarch, potato starch, sugarcane and tapioca roots, and has a smooth, shiny appearance.
Biodegradability and Environmental Concerns: PLA is known for being biodegradable and derived from renewable resources, such as corn starch or sugarcane. As sustainability and environmental awareness grow, the demand for PLA filament, which aligns with eco-friendly initiatives, increases.
Ease of Printing and User-Friendly Properties: PLA is relatively easy to print with, making it an attractive choice for beginners and experienced 3D printing enthusiasts alike. Its low printing temperature, minimal warping, and good adhesion properties make it convenient and user-friendly.
Wide Range of Applications: PLA is a versatile material suitable for a broad range of applications, including prototypes, product models, educational projects, consumer goods, and even medical devices. This versatility drives its adoption in various industries.
