Description
Light Weight PLA 3D Printing Filament:
3D META’s Light Weight PLA (LW-PLA) 3D printing filament is engineered for those who need a material that is both incredibly strong and light. LW-PLA is specially designed to expand during printing, resulting in up to 50% lighter prints compared to standard PLA while maintaining excellent mechanical properties. This unique foaming ability not only reduces the weight of your prints but also minimizes the amount of filament used, making it an economical and efficient choice. Manufactured under strict QA standards, 3D META’s LW-PLA filament is reliable, consistent, and easy to print, offering excellent layer adhesion and minimal warping.
Key Features of Light Weight PLA (LW-PLA) 3D Printing Filament:
- Lightweight with strong mechanical properties: LW-PLA’s foaming technology produces lightweight prints without compromising on durability, making it ideal for applications that require a strong yet light structure.
- Expands during printing: This filament expands up to 50% during the printing process, allowing you to print less material and create lighter parts.
- Easy to print: Enjoy hassle-free printing with LW-PLA’s excellent bed adhesion, layer bonding, and dimensional stability.
- Minimal filament usage: The foaming process reduces filament consumption, saving material and making it a cost-effective option for large projects.
- High-quality materials: Produced from high-grade PLA to ensure consistent and reliable performance with every spool.
- Low warping and cracking: LW-PLA offers great resistance to warping and cracking, ensuring successful prints even in more complex designs.
Applications for Light Weight PLA (LW-PLA) 3D Printing Filament:
LW-PLA filament is perfect for applications where reducing weight is crucial. Whether you’re working on aerodynamics, functional prototypes, or even model-making, this filament’s unique properties make it suitable for a wide range of uses:
- RC Planes and Drones: Lightweight and strong, LW-PLA is an excellent choice for creating lightweight frames and components that benefit from reduced mass without sacrificing strength.
- Cosplay and Costume Accessories: The lightweight nature of LW-PLA allows you to create large props and accessories that are comfortable to wear and handle, without compromising durability.
- Architectural Models: For detailed and expansive architectural models, LW-PLA allows for intricate designs with reduced weight, making the transport and assembly easier.
- Functional Prototypes: Engineers and designers who require lightweight prototypes will find LW-PLA beneficial for quickly iterating designs while maintaining structural integrity.
- Model Aircraft and Boats: LW-PLA is ideal for creating lightweight models that need to be both functional and aesthetically appealing.
Storage and Drying for LW-PLA Filament:
To maintain the quality of your LW-PLA filament, proper storage is crucial. As with most PLA-based materials, LW-PLA can absorb moisture from the air, potentially affecting print quality. To avoid issues:
- Store in an airtight container: Ensure your LW-PLA filament is kept in a dry, dark place, ideally in an airtight container with desiccants.
- Drying methods: If the filament absorbs moisture, it’s important to dry it before use. For LW-PLA, we recommend drying at 40℃ - 45℃ for at least 4-6 hours using a filament dryer, food dehydrator, or oven.
