Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) is a plastic made from renewable natural resources and one of the most popular materials for 3D printing. Plastics such as PLA are the most popular 3D printing material due to its simplicity, dimensional accuracy and low cost. PLA can be printed at a low temperature and does not require a heated bed and is one of the most environmentally friendly filaments available.

RS PRO PLA is a tough, easy to use high grade PLA type of filament, ideal for 3D printing.
Slightly modified, the filament retains the typical features of PLA, but makes it tougher and less brittle. Due to a low shrinkage factor PLA will not deform after cooling.

Tougher and less brittle compared to regular PLA
Easy to print at low temperature
Low warping
PLA is derived from crops such as corn and sugar cane
Limited smell
