PLA+ Bio TDS

This PLA+ series uses a high-content PLA formula that far exceeds advanced industry standards, combining environmental protection and high stability. Under actual printing conditions, the air emission level of PLA+ is significantly lower than EU indoor air concern standards. It is classified as low-emission material, making it ideal for home, education, and personal studio 3D printing.

Key characteristics

Material Features: Easy to print, low warpage, better toughness than standard PLA Suitable For: general structural parts, daily prototypes, and aesthetic parts Applications: Model & action figure making, handcraft creation, home decorations, education & popularization, single-color printing, large-size printing, batch printing Why is Our PLA Named PLA+ Bio  Biodegradable ： Derived from renewable corn-based raw materials / Naturally degradable, non-toxic and odorless / Imported biodegradable bio-based raw materials, refined from corn grains, with no recycled waste materials added  [Authoritative Testing] "A Safer 3D Printing Experience": High PLA content formula / More stable, more eco-friendly, lower emissions / Test report under real 3D Printing conditions / Emission levels far below EU indoor air concern standards / Suitable for home, studio, and educational environments To ensure the safety of the material during actual use, we commissioned SGS to conduct real 3D Printing emission tests in a standard 1m³ environmental chamber. • Place the 3D Printer in a 1m³ sealed environmental chamber • Set the nozzle temperature to 220°C • Simultaneous sampling during actual 3D Printing • Tested in accordance with the international standard ISO 16000 series Under Actual 3D Printing at 220°C: Emissions are far below EU concern levels, formaldehyde content is lower than European A+ standards, and total VOC is only approximately 1/4 of the strict reference value. The measured result of Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOC) is 65.9μg/m³. （In newly renovated rooms or rooms with new furniture, TVOC often ranges from 300 to 2000μg/m³ or even higher. Our data is only 1/5 to 1/30 of that in newly renovated rooms, with almost no chemical odor detectable.After lighting a cigarette, the TVOC nearby can surge to thousands or even tens of thousands of μg/m³ instantly. Our data is less than 1% of that near a cigarette.） CaiLab PLA+ Bio is safe and reliable, making parent-child interaction worry-free.

Specimen printing conditions

All specimens were printed on a Bambu Lab P1S. Because basic PLA+ Bio has high toughness but low strength, annealing offers little improvement to the overall performance of printed parts. Additionally, parts with complex or non-simple geometries are prone to significant deformation. Thus, annealing is not advised.
