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

• Made in Switzerland
• Small diameter and roundness tolerances
• Easy to print

Polylactic acid is a polymer that consists, among other things, of lactic acid molecules. We currently offer PLA filament in 1.75 mm and 2.85 mm. A heated bed is beneficial for PLA filament but not strictly necessary. We recommend using a cooling fan when processing PLA filament. Additionally, PLA is characterized by a more pleasant smell during processing compared to other plastics. However, the temperature at which PLA begins to melt is relatively low, and even at high summer temperatures, PLA parts can deform.

As a raw material, PLA is biodegradable under certain conditions. However, the final product contains pigments and additives, so PLA parts must be disposed of in the trash and not in the garden. This filament meets the composition requirements of the European regulation on plastic materials intended for food contact.

Properties:

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

Although PLA filament or polylactic acid is biodegradable, the specific environmental conditions required for biodegradability are typically only found in industrial composting facilities. PLA does not usually decompose in nature; therefore, we do not recommend composting PLA filament or parts printed from PLA.
