PLA is a plant–based plastic, and is the only material used in our 3D printed products. Known as a bioplastic, it derives from renewable resources like corn, sugarcane, or other plant-based materials! Unlike many traditional plastics that are made from fossil fuels, these bioplastics use organic matter as their source – helping to reduce our dependence on non-renewable resources, lower carbon emissions, and create better alternatives to traditional plastics.
