Transparent PLA
WHAT IS TRANSPARENT PLA?
Our Transparent PLA filament is by far the highest quality PLA material in the FDM 3D printing market, and there’s a good reason for that. It comes in many shades and styles, making it ideal for a wide range of applications. Whether you’re looking for vibrant colours or unique blends, PLA filament is an easy-to-use and aesthetically pleasing material.
PLA plastic or polylactic acid is a vegetable-based plastic material, which commonly uses cornstarch as a raw material. This material is a thermoplastic aliphatic polyester and it is the primary natural raw material used in 3D printing. PLA is a fully biodegradable thermoplastic polymer consisting of renewable raw materials. Among all 3D printing materials, PLA is one of the most popular materials used for additive manufacturing.

APPLICATION & TIPS
Transparent, smooth and glossy looks for aesthetically pleasing printouts.
For best results, the thinner the layer, the slower you print, the higher quality you will get.
PLA filament is an easy-to-use material that will print perfectly with a standard type of nozzle.
For good adhesion to the print bed and easy removal, we recommend installing a WHAM BAM Flexible Build System on your FDM Printer.
