Essentium High Performance PLA Additive Manufacturing Filament
Categories:	Polymer; 3D Printing/Additive Manufacturing Polymer; Renewable/Recycled Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polylactic Acid (PLA) Biopolymer
Material Notes:	Essentium PLA has been specifically designed for use in additive manufacturing. Superior tensile strength, modulus and impact resistance in comparison to standard PLA. High heat deflection temperature from excellent heat resistance and faster crystallization rates. Prints with great detail at high speeds, provides less warping, good bed adhesion. Definitions of axes used in property data table: XY is the print direction. ZX is the build direction. YX is the third orthogonal axis. Information provided by Essentium Materials, LLC.
