PLA filament is the go-to material for beginners to 3D printing, and for good reason. It's easy to print, requires minimal fine-tuning, and works well with most consumer-grade printers. However ...

Interested in experimenting with your own multi-color filament? [Turbo_SunShine] says to just print your own, and experiment away! Now, if you’re thinking that 3D printing some filament sound… ...

In fact, when used in the 3D-printing of test objects, the PLA-derived resin was found to exhibit mechanical and thermal qualities which were equal to or better than those of existing commercial ...

Researchers have developed a novel approach to three-dimensional (3D) printing they call “CLEAR,” which significantly improves the strength and durability of materials by using a combination ...

Most 3D prints are made from either PLA or ABS filament. The former is easy to use, but delicate. The latter is harder to print, and similarly rigid, but is much more impact-resistant.

PLA, or Polylactic Acid, is a biopolymer used in FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) 3D Printing amongst other things, and the reason it is used so often is for two main reasons.

Total Corbion PLA has donated more than a metric ton of polylactic acid resin to artist Ioan Florea's effort to produce and donate more than 4,000 3D printed closed-top face shields. The ...
