BASF – Ultrafuse PLA Filament – Green

Ultrafuse? PLA

One of the most used materials for 3D printing

Ultrafuse? PLA is Poly-Lactic-Acid. a biodegradable polymer with a low melting point. It is an easy material to print with and Ultrafuse? PLA gives a smooth printing result.

PLA is one of the most used materials for 3D printing. Ultrafuse? PLA is available in a wide range of colors. The glossy feel often attracts those who print display models or items for household use. Many appreciate the plant- based origin of this material. When properly cooled. PLA has a high maximum printing speed and sharp printed corners. Combining this with low warping of the print makes it a popular plastic for home printers. hobbyists. prototyping and schools.
