PLA is really easy to print with: it’s reliable, gives good surface quality, is made from organic and renewable sources. It’s safe, easy to print with and it serves a wide range of applications for both novice and advanced users.
When to use PLA:
● If you want to easily achieve high resolution prints
● Printing concept models and prototypes when aesthetics and fine details are key
● When you’re casting metal parts through lost PLA casting
● It’s perfect for printing in education or in the office, thanks to low ultrafine particle emissions
● A heated bed isn’t necessary, it works with glue and blue tape as well
● PLA isn’t suitable for medium temperature applications ( over 50˚C) or long-term outdoor usage. ABS is a better material for high temperature applications and CPE for outdoor usage.
