MAKERBOT PLA CAN MAKE RIGID AND GLOSSY PARTS FOR QUICK AND EASY, OFFICE-FRIENDLY PROTOTYPING
PLA is a great material for early concept models because it is easy to use, office-friendly, and works great with breakaway supports which print faster and can be removed faster than dissolvable supports. PLA is a corn-based plastic and is considered biodegradable under industrial processes.
MakerBot PLA Applications
- High-quality parts
- Detailed conceptual models
- Educational models
- Consumer goods
- Models required to be biodegradable
