3D Printing in PLA

PLA is a popular material for 3D printing due to its ease of use, affordability, and the fact that it produces less odor and emissions than other materials such as ABS. It is commonly used for prototyping, figurines, and other small parts. It is also used in industry such as in dental and medical fields.

High Stiffness

PLA is a strong and durable material, but it is not as heat-resistant as other thermoplastics.
