Formulated specifically for 3D printing, PLA-HI is a good alternative to both PLA and ABS. It is as hard as PLA, with a greater traction modulus. It withstands impacts and outdoor conditions better. It prints easier than ABS and unlike it, it is odorless. PLA-HI is easy to print. It does not require particular settings, nor does it need a heated bed.

In addition to the original properties of PLA, our team has modified the original formula. It allowed us to create a PLA comparable to ABS regarding tensile modulus and percentage of elongation at break. Its impact resistance is twice as high as that of standard PLA and ABS on XY axis. It can be three times as resistant on the Z axis. That is how our team uses PLA-HI for best results:

• Extrusion: Between 200°C and 220°C
• Bed temperature (not mandatory): between 35°C and 60°C
• Printing speed: 40-150 mm/s
