Professional Lab PLA+ Filament

Professional Lab PLA+ represents an evolution of the standard PLA material, designed for users who require higher mechanical resistance without sacrificing ease of printing. This filament was developed to offer better toughness and strength, making it suitable for parts that need to withstand moderate stress, and not just for visual models.

Unlike standard PLA, which can be brittle, the PLA+ formulation provides increased crack resistance and better layer adhesion. It retains key advantages such as low thermal expansion, minimal odour during printing, and the ability to be printed on open-frame printers. This makes it an ideal material for upgrading from regular PLA when you need to create parts with longer durability and higher reliability.

Improved Mechanical Properties

The material is engineered to provide a noticeable improvement over standard PLA, bringing it closer to more technical materials.

• Increased toughness: The PLA+ formulation is modified for higher impact and flex resistance, reducing the risk of the final part breaking.
• Higher strength: It offers better mechanical properties for functional parts and prototypes that are subjected to moderate stress.
• Reliable layer adhesion: Ensures a strong bond between individual layers, which is crucial for the overall strength and cohesion of the print.

Consistent Quality and Print Reliability

Thanks to strict manufacturing control, you can expect predictable and repeatable results.

• Precise diameter: The filament is manufactured with a dimensional tolerance of ±0.03 mm, ensuring stable extrusion and smooth printing.
• Low warping tendency: The material maintains the low shrinkage typical of PLA, allowing large objects to be printed even without an enclosed print chamber.
• Quality surface finish: Prints have a smooth surface with a slight gloss, giving models a professional appearance.

Compatibility

• Compatibility with AMS Lite: The spool has a central hole diameter of 75 mm. For trouble-free use in the Bambu Lab AMS Lite system, the manufacturer recommends printing an adapter.
