PLA, or PolyLactic Acid, is the most popular type of 3D filament used today in 3D Printers. It offers great ease of use, is very forgiving, and makes great prototypes, gifts, gadgets, and toys. It is non-toxic, food-safe, makes a pleasant and non-toxic odor when used and is made from a plastic that comes from corn. In fact, it is also compostable, which means it will break down in the right conditions and will not stay in the environment for 100's of years like non-bio-based plastics. 3D-Fuel offers PLA in three different types: Standard, Workday and Pro PLA.
