PLA (Polylactic acid) is thermoplastic aliphatic polyester made of renewable resources like corn or starch. Its extrusion-temperature is much lower than ABS, and most often doesn’t require a heated bed. It has the following characteristics:
1.Good toughness high strength, high stiffness ;
2.No block nozzle, good stick hot bed, a smooth PLA used
3.Can be processed at 185 degrees
4.Low shrinkage, thermoforming dimensional stability
5.Accurate diameter: 3.0/1.75mm, variations + /-0.03mm, roundness +/-0.02mm;
