Material

We are 3D printing exclusively in high quality PLA (Polylactic acid) which is made completely from renewable resources. Unlike other plastic materials that are oil based, PLA is made from corn starch, which can be grown sustainably and is fully bio-degradable and even food safe.

It's strong and rigid, but still offers a bit of flexibility. Our practical knowledge of these traits allows us to get the best of both worlds in our 3d-printed products.

The great thermal properties of PLA allow for an energy efficient and ecological production. However, it also means that you shouldn't leave the items in hot places (like on your car dashboard in full sunlight) for too long, as it tends to get softer at 70°C (158°F) and might deform.
