PLA: Polylactic Acid
PLA is one of the most commonly used 3D printing materials. It’s affordable and easy to use,
and comes in a huge assortment of colors! It’s a unique thermoplastic polymer in that it’s
derived from renewable resources such as corn starch. As such, it is biodegradeable and not
suited for long-term outdoor use or in wet environments. PLA also melts easily in heat, so this
is not an ideal filament for high-temperature environments.
Some PLA filaments are ingrained with wood or metal, and these can be post-processed for
unique aesthetics and texture. It’s also the ideal material choice for dual-extrusion 3D printing,
as it adheres well to not only itself, but PVA-based soluble support materials.
An enclosure is not necessary when printing with PLA, as ambient temperatures don’t affect it.
This filament is slightly less robust than ABS, but it’s still an excellent choice for rapid
prototyping and classroom applications.
