Description

One of the most used materials for 3D printing

Ultrafuse® PLA is Poly-Lactic-Acid, a biodegradable polymer with a low melting point. It is an easy material to print with and Ultrafuse® PLA gives a smooth printing result.

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. When properly cooled, PLA has a high maximum printing speed and sharp printed corners. Combining this with low warping of the print makes it a popular plastic for home printers, hobbyists, prototyping and schools. Ultrafuse® PLA is based on food-safe raw materials (granulate), which are suitable for food contact applications according to the European Plastics Regulation.
