PLA plastic from Plexiwire

Features of PLA Plexiwire

. PLA plastic is the most popular material for 3D printing using FDM technology. Filament is easy enough to use, safe for humans and animals, has a low cost even in comparison with other base plastics and has properties for its wide use.

I would like to note that PLA plastic from Plexiwire is easy to work with. It has a fairly low melting point, but at the same time the level of detail of the finished model at a high enough level, even in comparison with the same ABS and other high-temperature plastics. At the same time, the plastic has a lower coefficient of deformation.

Another advantage of using PLA plastic for 3D printer is that it is a biodegradable material, does not emit harmful substances during printing and has almost no odor. PLA from Plexiwire is completely safe for children and is therefore the best plastic for 3D pen.

Characteristics of Plexiwire PLA filament:

• Low printing temperature, starting at 190°C;
• The material adheres easily to various surfaces and does not require a heated print table;
• Does not emit unpleasant odors when printing;
• Easy subsequent processing by mechanical and chemical means;
• PLA can be easily sanded, polished and painted;
• Environmentally friendly material, non-toxic;
• Hygroscopic;

Making and use

. One of Plexiwire's key areas of development is the production of PLA plastic. The company offers PLA filament with a filament diameter of 1.75 mm in a wide range of colors.


The properties of PLA material make it more suitable for use where appearance and shape are more important than strength and durability. Consequently, PLA is best used for items intended for decorative use. PLA plastics are also a good choice for inexpensive and fast prototyping, accurate and colorful models, props, etc.

Important: PLA plastic products cannot withstand high temperatures and are fragile.

PLA plastic when used does not emit harmful and toxic substances, so it is one of the safest plastics for 3D printing. This feature makes it an ideal material for use in 3D printing pens. And the presence of a large number of color solutions will maximize the creative abilities of you and your children in creating beautiful, unique three-dimensional figures.

Before you buy PLA from Plexiwire you should know:

• PLA is a highly hygroscopic plastic (absorbs moisture). Therefore, it is advisable to store it in a sealed bag or container with silica gel.
• PLA is brittle and has low mechanical properties.
• Operating temperature of PLA plastic products: from -20 ° C to +40 ° C.
