PLA
Affordable and Versatile
BigRep PLA is an easy-to-use filament optimized for producing prototypes and pattern making, for end-use parts to the wide range of tooling applications.
Compatibility:
The strength and stiffness of BigRep PLA makes this filament ideal for demanding industrial production, such as in 3D printing large objects for the architecture or construction fields.
PLA at a glance:
- High level of strength
- Extrudes very well between 190°C and 225°C
- Low moisture absorption
- Low warping
- Naturally transparent (colors available)
- Reduced environmental impact
PLA can be printed at low to moderate temperatures and high speeds, and compared to other polymers used for 3D printing, the filament demonstrates minimal warping. Optimized for BigRep large-scale 3D printers, BigRep PLA enables successful prints without a special cooling system.
The mechanical behavior of BigRep PLA is suitable for most applications, though for applications requiring suitability with higher humidity (above 98%) and higher temperatures (above 60°C) other polymers should be used, such as PRO HT and PETG.
