    About PLA

    PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a plant-based thermoplastic that prints crisp, accurate parts with a satin finish. It's our go-to material for prototypes, decorative objects, miniatures, and indoor parts that don't need heat or UV resistance.

    Finish

    Layer-line satin finish, sandable and paintable with acrylics.

    Properties

    • Excellent dimensional accuracy and surface finish
    • Stiff and reasonably strong (tensile ~50 MPa)
    • Available in dozens of colours
    • Biodegradable under industrial composting
    • Softens above ~55°C — not for hot environments

    Common use cases

    Visual prototypes and design iterations
    Architectural models
    Tabletop miniatures and figures
    Cosplay props and decorative parts
    Educational projects and gifts
