Product Highlights
  • High level of strength
  • Extrudes very well between 190°C and 225°C
  • Low moisture absorption
  • Low warping
  • Naturally transparent (colors available)
  • Reduced environmental impact
Benefits
  • PLA can be printed at low to moderate temperatures and high speeds, and compared to other polymers used for 3D printing, the filament demonstrates minimal warping. Optimized for BigRep large-scale 3D printers, BigRep PLA enables successful prints without a special cooling system.
  • The mechanical behavior of BigRep PLA is suitable for most applications, though for applications requiring suitability with higher humidity (above 98%) and higher temperatures (above 60°C) other polymers should be used, such as PRO HT and PETG.
