We’re currently printing PLA (No chocolate at the moment, sorry guys)

What is PLA?

PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a type of plastic used in 3D printing. It’s one of the most popular materials for beginners because it’s easy to use and eco-friendly.

Why is PLA special?

Made from Plants – Unlike regular plastic, which comes from oil, PLA is made from natural sources like corn starch or sugarcane.
Biodegradable – It breaks down over time in industrial composting, making it more environmentally friendly.
Easy to Print – It melts at a low temperature, doesn’t warp much, and doesn’t need special equipment.
Safe & Non-Toxic – It’s safe to use indoors since it doesn’t release harmful fumes while printing.

Where is PLA used?

  • 3D printing (toys, prototypes, home decorations)
  • Food packaging (cups, straws, containers)
  • Medical implants (since it’s biodegradable inside the body)

We hope to offer different types of material as we grow 🙂
