PLA filaments (Polylactic Acid) are among the most widely used and most popular materials for 3D printing. They are made from natural and renewable resources (such as corn or potato starch), which makes them an environmentally friendly material with a minimal carbon footprint.
PLA is known for its easy printability, accuracy and smooth surface finish, which makes it ideal both for beginners and for experienced users. It is suitable for a wide range of applications – from decorations, models and prototypes to educational and artistic projects.

One of the main advantages of PLA filaments is their stable behaviour during printing. The material has minimal thermal shrinkage and excellent adhesion to the build plate, so it does not warp or crack during printing.
There is no need to use a heated bed or an enclosed build chamber – a standard 3D printer is enough and PLA behaves predictably and reliably. The prints have a smooth, detailed and semi-matte surface, which looks professional even without additional post-processing.
Key properties of PLA filaments:
Easy printing without odour and deformation
Excellent dimensional accuracy and stability
Eco-friendly composition from renewable resources
Smooth surface with excellent layer detail
Safe and non-toxic material (BPA-free)
No heated bed required
Wide colour range and various surface finishes
Thanks to its simplicity and availability, PLA is suitable for modelling, prototyping, artistic and educational projects as well as for decorative objects. The material is strong and rigid, but also more brittle than technical plastics, which makes it an ideal choice for prints that are not exposed to high temperatures or mechanical stress.
PLA is often used for educational models, figurines, accessories, packaging, mock-ups, cases or promotional items, where appearance and detail accuracy are essential.
Recommended printing parameters:
Nozzle temperature: 190–220 °C
Bed temperature: 20–60 °C (not required)
Print speed: 50–80 mm/s
The material prints cleanly and without odour, which is especially appreciated by users in home or school environments.
PLA filaments are available in many colour shades – from basic to metallic, transparent or matte variants. On the market you can also find special PLA types, for example:
PLA+ filament – an improved formulation with higher strength and better heat resistance
PLA Silk filament – with a silky glossy surface effect
Matte PLA – with a smooth surface without reflections
Eco PLA – biodegradable and produced with lower energy consumption
Simple printing even without experience
Prints with high layer resolution and sharp edges
Wide compatibility with FDM/FFF printers
Safe, eco-friendly and health-safe material
Ideal for education, design and creative production
If you are looking for a reliable, aesthetic and easy-to-process material, PLA filaments are the right choice. They offer high print quality, minimal complications and an excellent price-to-performance ratio.
The PLA Filaments category includes a wide range of eco-friendly and high-quality materials suitable for all types of projects – from model making and design to professional prototyping.
PLA is a basic yet timeless filament that combines simplicity, precision and sustainability in one package.
