What Is PLA Filament?
PLA (Polylactic Acid) is the world's most popular 3D printing material and is widely used by beginners, hobbyists, schools, businesses and professional makers. Derived from renewable plant-based resources, PLA is known for its ease of printing, low warping and excellent surface finish.
Compared to many other 3D printing materials, PLA prints at relatively low temperatures and produces consistent results with minimal tuning. This makes it an excellent choice for both first-time users and experienced makers looking for reliable day-to-day printing performance.
Why Choose PLA Filament?
PLA remains the preferred material for many 3D printing applications because it offers an excellent balance of print quality, ease of use and affordability.
Benefits of PLA filament include:
• Easy to print with minimal warping
• Excellent surface finish and detail reproduction
• Reliable layer adhesion
• Suitable for high-speed printing
• Low odour during printing
• Compatible with most desktop 3D printers
• Available in a huge range of colours and finishes
• Ideal for beginners and professionals alike
Whether you're printing decorative models or functional prototypes, PLA provides dependable results across a wide range of applications.
PLA vs PLA+
Many users ask about the difference between standard PLA and PLA+.
PLA+ is an enhanced formulation designed to improve toughness, durability and layer adhesion while maintaining the easy printability that PLA is known for.
Compared with standard PLA, PLA+ generally offers:
• Improved impact resistance
• Better layer bonding
• Increased durability
• Reduced brittleness
• Greater reliability for everyday use
Our VIVA PLA+ range has been developed to provide consistent performance, vibrant colours and excellent value, making it a popular choice for both hobbyists and professional users.
