UltiMaker PLA Orange (NFC)

Ultimaker PLA

Ultimaker PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a versatile and widely used 3D printing filament within the Ultimaker ecosystem. Made from renewable resources such as corn starch, it is biodegradable and offers a user-friendly printing experience. PLA is ideal for beginners and experienced users alike, providing reliable performance and excellent surface finish.

Key benefits:

• NFC-enabled spool: Integrated NFC chip allows Ultimaker printers to automatically recognise the material type and colour, ensuring optimal print settings and reducing manual errors.
• High detail and surface finish: Captures fine features with smooth surfaces, making it ideal for concept models, prototypes, and detailed visualisations.
• Low warping: PLA exhibits very low shrinkage, providing dimensional stability and reducing the likelihood of warping during cooling.
• Eco-friendly: Made from renewable resources, PLA is a more sustainable choice for non-functional prototypes and educational projects.

Applications:

Suitable for educational projects, architectural models, concept prototypes, and functional parts that do not require high thermal or mechanical resistance.

Note: PLA is not recommended for parts exposed to high temperatures or mechanical stress.
