MakerBot PLA Filament for Method
Rigid and glossy parts for quick and easy, office-friendly prototyping
PLA is a great material for early concept models because it is easy to use, office-friendly, and works great with breakaway supports which print faster and can be removed faster than dissolvable supports. PLA is a corn-based plastic and is considered biodegradable under industrial processes.
Extruder Compatibility
Support Material
- MakerBot PVA
- Breakaway Supports
Dimensional Accuracy
- Finished part dimensional accuracy of ± 0.2mm (± 0.007in)1
