Description

PLA (Poly-Lactic Acid) is a general-use bio performance thermoplastic for open-environment 3D printing. Derived from renewable sources, such as corn, cassava, sugarcane, cereals, or sugar beet, PLA thermoplastic is biodegradable under the right conditions, giving it a reduced environmental impact.

Filaments should remain sealed when being stored long term in order to prevent absorption of moisture from the air. High moisture content may harm the quality of the extrusion, leading to the clogging of the nozzles, as well as bubbles and spurting. 

Highlights:

  • Inexpensive
  • Highly versatile properties
  • Environmentally friendly thermoplastic
  • Low warping and shrinkage
  • Food safe

Applications

BigRep PLA is FDA compliant for food safety and meets the requirements of EU Directives on food contact. 

BigRep PLA is a leading 3D printing material with a wide range of applications in the realm of large format additive manufacturing. It pairs seamlessly with BigRep's award-winning German-engineered STUDIO 3D printer, which is known for its precision and reliability. BigRep's large-scale 3D printers, are at the forefront of modern manufacturing.

BigRep PLA stands out for its exceptional quality and versatility, making it an ideal choice for various industries. Its compatibility with the latest BigRep press releases ensures users have access to the most advanced technology, resulting in high-quality outcomes. Notably, the post-processing requirements for objects printed with BigRep PLA are minimal, streamlining the production process and saving time.

Whether for prototypes, functional parts, or artistic creations, BigRep PLA material on their award-winning German-engineered machines yields outstanding results. The combination of advanced technology and efficient post-processing makes BigRep PLA a prime choice for businesses seeking to leverage the benefits of large format additive manufacturing. Stay up-to-date with the latest BigRep press releases to stay informed about the latest news and developments in the field of 3D printing.


Properties

PLA is an easy to use 3D printer filament in comparison to other polymers that can be printed using low-to-moderate temperatures with a higher throughput on FFF 3D printers. Its mechanical properties, as well as other final properties, are widely variable depending on the 3D printing conditions such as extruder temperature, extrusion speed, cooling system, etc. 

Compared to other polymers used for 3D printing, PLA demonstrates much less warping and shrinkage. For this reason it’s possible to successfully print in an open environment without a dedicated cooling system. For applications at higher humidity (above 98%) and higher temperatures (above 60°C) other polymers, such as BigRep’s Pro HT and PETG, are recommended.
