UltiMaker PLA Filament
UltiMaker PLA (polylactic acid) is highly versatile, easy to print, and available in 11 colors. It prints reliably with high dimensional accuracy and a quality surface finish. This makes it an ideal material for a range of applications – from detailed prototypes to simple manufacturing jigs and gauges.
We extensively test our PLA material for hassle-free 3D printing.
- Easy to print at high print speeds
- Achieve excellent tensile stiffness and detailed surface quality
- Dual extrude in two colors, or with PVA or Breakaway
- Ideal for investment casting to create metal parts
