PLA+: common questions
What is PLA+ good for?
PLA+ is a common choice for functional prototypes, mechanical parts, snap-fit assemblies. Improved PLA with better layer adhesion, toughness, and slightly higher heat resistance.
How strong and heat-resistant is PLA+?
Printed PLA+ parts have a typical tensile strength of 55–65 MPa and heat resistance of ~65 °C. These are typical values for printed parts in the XY direction; strength between layers is lower, so orientation matters for loaded parts.
How big a part can you print in PLA+, and how fast?
Up to 350 × 320 × 325 mm in one piece; larger parts are printed in sections and joined, after a review. Production takes 2-5 business days, and rush service is available.
