Ultrafuse PLA is poly-lactic acid, a biodegradable polymer with a low melting point. It is an easy-to-print material that delivers a smooth printing result. This most commonly used 3D printing material is available in a wide range of RAL colors and translucent variants. With proper cooling, PLA has a higher maximum printing speed, lower layer heights, and sharper print corners. Combined with its low warping characteristics, it is a popular plastic for manufacturers, prosumers, and schools.
