Ultrafuse® PLA is available in a wide range of colours.
Ultrafuse® PLA a high quality polylactic acid product, a biodegradable polymer with a low melting point.
PLA is one of the most used materials and easy to print.
It can be used for the production of plastics that can be used in
food industry, production of toys, decorations, functional prototypes, etc.
Many appreciate the vegetable origin of this material.
Forward AM's Ultrafuse® enable anyone to 3D print their designs on almost all modern FDM/FFF printers.
Forward AM carefully selects only the highest quality raw materials and optimizes them for its 3D printing filaments. Ultrafuse® Standard Filaments are easy to use and consistently produce excellent results.
