DOUBLE YOUR BENEFITS
With HD PLA you have many more options. You can use this material in two ways. Choose the one you like the most. You can use it as normal PLA and get prints characterized by very good adhesion between layers and high precision. You can also make your prints take on properties similar to ABS – better impact resistance and resistance to high temperatures. All you need is an oven. Yes, the oven! By annealing our HD PLA in an oven according to the instruction manual, you will avoid all the inconveniences of ABS printing, such as unpleasant odors or dangerous fumes.
APPLICATIONS:
- Toys or their elements: human figures, animals, constructions, houses, vehicles, dice
- Gifts and their items: key chains, stands, phone cases

- Elements of jewelry: earrings, bracelets, beads, necklaces
- Spare parts: machine elements, equipment, vehicles, electronic equipment
- Tools :complex elements requiring durability
- Home equipment: bowls, trays, boxes
Properties of HD PLA:
- Biodegradability
- slightly glossy surface
- the ability to anneal the print in an oven and achieve properties similar to ABS
- after annealing – increased impact resistance and resistance to high temperatures
