PLA Athena
NEEMA3D™ Athena PLA is a tough, easy to use high quality PLA, an ideal start for your 3D printing constructions.
Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) is a biodegradable plastic made from renewable natural resources and is one of the most popular materials for 3D printing. NEEMA3D™ Athena PLA is a slightly modified PLA, which is tougher (2x stronger than the regular PLA) and less brittle. Added to these, it is an easy to print material even in low temperatures. NEEMA3D™ Athena PLA now available in 2.3Kg and 4.5Kg!! For big prints now you have the spools for the job!
- Tougher and less brittle
- Easy to print
- Low warping
- Limited smell
- Biodegradable
