The use of high-quality raw materials creates a 3D printer filament that is particularly easy to process. Utilizing a state-of-the-art manufacturing process, very low manufacturing tolerances are achieved, leading to impressive printing results with all FDM 3D printers. Each coil is sealed in a high-quality bag.

Made in Switzerland, it features small diameter and roundness tolerances, making it easy to print. Polyactide, also known as PLA, is a polymer that consists of lactic acid molecules, among other components. We currently offer PLA filament in 1.75 mm and 2.85 mm diameters. While a heated bed is advantageous for PLA filament, it is not essential. We recommend using an air cooler during processing. Additionally, PLA is characterized by a more pleasant odor than other plastics when being processed.

It's important to note that the temperature below which PLA starts to soften is relatively low, and even in high summer temperatures, PLA parts can deform. As a starting material, PLA is biodegradable under special conditions, but the final product contains pigments and additives; therefore, PLA parts should be disposed of in the garbage, not in the garden.

This filament meets the compositional requirements of European Regulation No. 10/2011 on plastic materials intended for food contact.

Characteristics include:

• Minimal shrinkage
• Little delay
• Low water absorption
• Soluble in many organic solvents
• High UV resistance
• Low flammability
• Heat resistance up to approximately 60°C

PLA filament or polylactide is biodegradable, but certain environmental conditions, usually found only in industrial composting plants, are necessary for decomposition. PLA does not typically decompose in nature, so we do not recommend composting PLA filament or printed parts made from PLA.
