PLA
PLA (Polylactic Acid) produced via FDM technology is a biodegradable and biocompatible thermoplastic material derived from renewable sources such as corn or sugarcane. Characterized by excellent processability, it is widely used in 3D printing due to its low melting temperature and low volumetric shrinkage. Its main applications include rapid prototyping, modeling, toys, and decorative objects.
