Introduction
- Polylactic acid commonly known as PLA is a biodegradable thermoplastic.
- It is easy to print as there is no shrinkage or warping issues occur during printing.
- PLA can form so many composites as it is easy to blend with other material some commonly used composites are SS-PLA, wood-PLA,
- PLA is derived from natural resources so it can be constantly renewed.
- Printed objects will usually have a glossier look & feel
- It cannot stand too much heat, as standard PLA becomes soft around 50°C, but we can improve it by blending it with other materials.
