PLA — The Stuff We Print With

All PrintPlay products are made using PLA.

PLA is one of the most popular materials used in 3D printing, known for its ease of use, eco-friendliness, and vibrant range of colors. Made from renewable resources like cornstarch or sugarcane, PLA is biodegradable, making it an environmentally conscious choice.

Here are a few reasons why we've decided to use PLA for our products:

  • Eco-Friendly

    PLA is made from renewable resources like cornstarch or sugarcane and it’s biodegradable, making it an environmentally responsible option for 3D printing.

  • Low Odor

    Unlike some other materials, PLA emits very little odor when printing making it more comfortable to use. Especially for our indoor studio space.

  • Affordable

    PLA is generally cost-effective compared to other 3D printing materials. This is a great option as it allows us to allocate more of our budget on other fun creations for you to enjoy.

  • Safe & Non-Toxic

    PLA is considered safe to print with, safe to handle and safe for personal use. Don't worry – these guys are harmless.

  • Vibrant Colours

    Available in a wide range of colours and finishes, PLA allows us to create visually striking prints with ease.
