PLAsta
PLAsta is a material primarily composed of polylactic acid (PLA), a biodegradable and biocompatible thermoplastic derived from renewable resources like corn starch or sugarcane. While often used interchangeably with PLA, the term PLAsta can refer to specific formulations or blends of PLA designed for particular applications. These formulations may include additives to enhance properties such as flexibility, impact resistance, or heat deflection temperature, distinguishing them from pure PLA.
The manufacturing process for PLAsta typically involves polymerization of lactic acid, followed by extrusion or injection
PLAsta finds applications in diverse fields. It is widely used in 3D printing due to its ease
