What is PLA 3D Printing?
PLA is a widely employed filament material utilized in FDM printing. It offers advantages in both cosmetic quality and ease of use. PLA is easy to print with and very forgiving of machine settings.
Polylactic acid (PLA) is one of the oldest plastics. It was first made in 1938 only commercialized much later. It surfaced as a biodegradable alternative to PET in the 1980s. The basic PLA filament is simply a long-chain polymer of lactic acid mixed with nucleating agents and plasticizers, extruded as a fiber. This basic material can be enhanced with a wide range of additives such as carbon fiber, wood fibers, metal particles, colors, graphene flakes, copolymer additions, and melt viscosity modifiers. Simpler filaments are referred to as PLA, whereas more complex, additive-rich products are known as PLA+.
This article will further discuss PLA as a 3D printing filament and will review its composition, properties, and differences.
