Impact PLA properties:
- increased impact strength compared to PLA (up to 800%) and ABS (up to 50%)
- parameters exceeding the ABS
- precise reproduction of details
- very good adhesion
Top-Quality Raw Materials
NatureWorks is an American company and one of the largest and most renowned producers of biopolymers in the world, primarily known for polylactic acid (PLA). Their flagship product, Ingeo™ PLA, is made from renewable plant-based resources such as corn starch. This polymer stands out for its consistent composition, low impurity levels, and excellent control over physicochemical parameters, which guarantees the quality of the final product – 3D printing filament. NatureWorks PLA is highly stable during processing: it doesn’t clog nozzles, has a consistent melting point, and is minimally prone to warping. This makes it an ideal material for both beginners and advanced users.
