PLA

PLA (Polylactic Acid) is one of the most popular filament materials for FFF 3D printing. It is a thermoplastic derived from renewable resources such as corn starch or sugarcane, and so – with the right conditions – it is biodegradable.

It has a lower printing temperature than ABS, another popular filament material. Though not as strong as ABS, it is less likely to warp and it’s often capable of printing a sharper finish.
