PLA+ Grey Forshape Premium - 1.75mm - 1kg

A flagship material for 3D printing, the PLA Forshape is ideal for the production of prototyping parts, shape validation and parts for decorative or aesthetic use.

Made in Europe to ROHS and REACH standards, this PLA Dark Grey filament offers excellent value for money.

Extremely easy to use, as illustrated below, this slightly modifiedPLA is both stiffer and more resistant to fatigue than some other PLA filaments. Its chemical properties make it less brittle.

This spool has a cardboard reel that is easy to fold and also easy to recycle. If you're looking for an economical or environmentally friendly PLA filament from Europe, or both, PLA Forshape is undoubtedly your first choice.

Use of PLA Dark Grey filament Forshape

PLA is generally used for prototyping, whether for architectural models, shape validation for manufacturers or more personal design.

This material, with a few improvements, particularly in terms of good slicer settings, can even meet certain needs for certain functional prototypes.

What we like about PLA (starch base) is that it is biodegradable and odourless.
