PLA (Polylactic Acid) is one of the most popular and beloved materials for 3D printing, and for good reason. This bioplastic is made from renewable resources such as corn starch or sugar cane, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional plastics.

What makes PLA so attractive to beginners and experienced makers alike is its ease of use. The material prints at relatively low temperatures, has virtually no warping, and adheres well to the print bed, ensuring consistent and reliable results. In addition, PLA emits a mild, often pleasantly sweet odor during printing, unlike some other filaments that can have a strong chemical smell.

PLA is available in a wide range of colours and special variants such as transparent, metallic or wood look, which makes it also aesthetically very versatile. Ideal for prototyping, decorative objects, models or educational projects.

In short: PLA is durable, easy to use and aesthetically pleasing – an excellent choice for any 3D printer looking for quality with a green edge.
