Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biodegradable thermoplastic derived from renewable resources. Safe for the office, this material is non-toxic and easy-to-print with high reliability and dimensional accuracy.

MakerBot precision PLA Material is optimised with the slicing algorithm in our software to give you the best results and highest quality.

Ideal for the early stages of concept modelling and form studies, PLA printed objects will generally have a glossier look and feel.

PLA Precision Model Material: extensively-tested for the highest reliability and measurably accurate parts.

The Smart Spool™ contains all the information that the printer needs, including material type, colour, and amount remaining via an RFID chip. This is communicated directly to MakerBot Print, while a built-in desiccant absorbs any moisture exposure during the material loading process, ensuring your material stays fresher longer.

Store MakerBot Method PLA Precision Material in the included a vacuum-sealed metalised polyester bag to avoid moisture absorption from air and long-term exposure to humidity can compromise material quality and performance. Make sure the built-in desiccant is in the spool to absorb any moisture exposure during the material loading process.
