BASF 3D Ultrafuse® PLA Fused Fillament
Categories:	Polymer; 3D Printing/Additive Manufacturing Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polylactic Acid (PLA) Biopolymer
Material Notes:	Components: Polylactic acid based filament for Fused Filament Fabrication. Product Description: 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. Information provided by BASF
