PLA
PLA is a dimensionally stable plastic for models and lightly loaded parts. It is especially attractive when appearance, fine detail and an economical starting point are the priorities.
Typical applications
Display models, design samples, presentation pieces and precisely fitting organisers for indoor use.
Why PLA?
PLA quickly turns ideas into something tangible. It suits clean contours, fine details and economical models.

Ideas for your application
Product development, architecture, model making, exhibitions and creative one-off projects.
Surface and appearance
A slightly glossy surface with a visible, consistent layer structure.
Designing your part to fit
Consistent wall thicknesses and rounded transitions support clean contours. Wide screw mounting points and stable webs improve load capacity.
Finishing and post-processing
