PLA

PLA

MAIN FEATURES

  • Low shrinkage
  • High dimensional stability
  • Excellent surface finish (optical effect)
  • Resistance to organic and inorganic salts

APPLICATIONS/TARGET INDUSTRIES

  • Moulding
  • Prototyping
  • Large components
  • Low stressed functional parts
  • Decorative objects
  • Household products

Eco-friendly, biodegradable plastic derived from natural raw materials, typically agro-industrial waste from corn and sugar cane, from which starch is extracted, processed into lactic acid and lactide, and then into the final polymer.

Recommended printing parameters:

Spasilen

TASK

Create a device that could do injections automatically. Prototypes are needed for testing before serial production of the device.

SOLUTION

Printing with PLA was perfect for quickly prototyping parts that were then made on injection molding machines.

BENEFIT

The quality of the print far exceeded the parts that were trial molded into a silicone mold. Rapid production of a pilot batch and testing helped bring the product to market faster. Product improvement continues.

REVIEW

“Work on the device has accelerated significantly with the printer. The main thing is that we got the opportunity to very quickly check the performance of the device nodes. We could redo the parts several times a day: test, change and print, try on the part and look again for the best solution.”
