Polylactic Acid (PLA)
FDM Thermoplastic
Fast and Economical Design Verification.
A stiff thermoplastic made from renewable resources, PLA is perfect for quick concept verification at a low cost. It works with fast-draft mode on the Stratasys F123 series and comes in 11 different color options. PLA also has a low melting point, which means it requires less heat and power to print parts.
