The information in the data provided is based on our current knowledge and experience. Due to the many possible influences during processing and application of our products, this information does not release the user from the obligation to perform their own inspections and tests, and it does not contain any guarantee of properties or suitability of the product for a particular purpose. It is the responsibility of the user to determine the process capability of their 3D printer and to conduct tests for their use cases using our materials. The values refer to test specimens generated from the semi-finished product and not to values based on printed test specimens.
PLA filament (polylactide) is the material of choice for FDM/FFF 3D printing because it is very easy to print (low warping, good dimensional accuracy) and able to produce fine details and clean surfaces. It is typically used for concept and visual models, design and mould studies, prototypes (in particular for fit/visuals), miniatures, decorative and housing elements and parts subjected to low mechanical stress. PLA is also widely used for larger prints because it is reliable and quick to print. However, PLA is rather stiff and brittle and has limited resistance to heat and weathering. For applications involving heavy loads, high temperatures or long-term outdoor use, alternatives such as PETG or ASA are therefore often preferred.
Additional printing guidelines
- High extruder speeds can affect printing accuracy.
- It is recommended to select the speed based on your own experience and approach the upper limit from there.
