RS PRO 1.75mm White PLA High Speed 3D Printer Filament, 500g

Introducing the range of PLA High-Speed 3D Printer Filaments from RS PRO, one of the most popular and easy-to-use 3D printing filament materials available on the market. PLA filament (polylactic acid) is made from starch, which is odourless, making it ideal for use in domestic or closed-off environments with little ventilation. This High-Speed filament has been specifically designed for High-Speed 3D Printers to support the fast-moving extruder. This 3D printer filament does this by offering better fluidity and supporting faster shaping that adapts to the rapid movement of the extruder, which in the process eliminates common issues like filament-jam and poor filament output that impact the overall quality of the 3D print. Suitable for use in a wide range of applications, but especially useful in domestic, education, or office environments, thanks to the easy-to-use nature of the PLA material.

3D printing materials or filaments are very versatile products that can create an infinite possibility of outcomes and final prints. There are various materials and colours on the market that can be used depending on the preferred end product in mind, and thanks to this innovative and creative 3D printing technology, 3D printers have enabled an exciting stream of high-resolution 3D prints that can create architectural visualisation models, household tools, functional prototypes and so much more. 3D printing and 3D printing filaments are most commonly used in applications like:

• General printing and Hobbyist


• Medical and Education


• Prototyping and Jewellery


• Architecture models and Engineering


• Aviation and Automotive

Polylactic Acid (PLA) is a biodegradable plastic made from renewable natural resources and one of the most popular materials for 3D printing. Plastics such as PLA are the most popular 3D printing material due to its simplicity, dimensional accuracy and low cost. This type of material can offer high tensile strength and impact-resistant properties, making it an excellent choice for 3D printing applications. In addition to this, PLA filament can be printed at a low temperature and does not require a heated bed and is one of the most environmentally friendly filaments available.

PLA is a tough, easy to use high-grade PLA type of filament, ideal for 3D printing. Slightly modified, the filament retains the typical features of PLA but makes it tougher and less brittle and thanks to the low shrinkage factor, this material will not deform after cooling.
