PLA filaments

PLA filament - Plastic for 3D printing

3D printing is the process of producing physical objects based on a 3D computer model. Depending on the material used and the field of application of the manufactured object, many 3D printing methods have been developed, including: FDM - thermoplastic material is extruded through nozzles , MJP - UV light-cured photopolymer sprayed in thin layers , CJP - gypsum powder colored with ink (color 3D printing ), SLS – thin layers of building powder melted with a laser , DMLS – metal powders melted with a high-power laser (3D metal printing). Thanks to the many available 3D printing techniques as well as the variety of available materials, we can both quickly prototype objects while maintaining low production costs, as well as produce ready-made products for sale. PLA - a filament that is suitable for 3D printing in most printers available on the market.

Quick prototype printed in 3D technology

If you need to make a prototype as well as a functional detail of your structure and you want to reduce the cost of producing the object, FDM 3D printing will be an excellent method. This is a method in which the material is applied through a nozzle heated to its melting point. The nozzle controls the material flow, and its position is determined by the printer based on a computer-generated CAM program. A physical object is manufactured layer by layer. This method is characterized by an accuracy of +/- 0.13 mm. One of the materials used in this method is PLA filament. PLA – Polylactide filament is a plastic fiber resistant to weather conditions and UV radiation and characterized by high mechanical strength. It is a biodegradable thermoplastic polyester which, thanks to the possibility of combining with many additives, can be optimized for special applications. Our store offers a wide range of PLA filaments in various colors, with diameters of 1.75 mm and 2.85 mm, sold in the form of spools. The weight of one spool of filament ranges from 500 to 2000 g, which corresponds to a fiber length of 90 to 330 m. The printing temperature for PLA filament ranges from 180 to 260 degrees C.
