Luminy® PLA for 3D printing

Biobased materials suitable for general purpose and industrial printing

Luminy® PLA is the standard for high-quality 3D printing filaments

PLA is the most common material used for FDM, Fused Deposition Modeling. Luminy® PLA can be used as standalone polymer or in the form of compounds in 3D printing applications depending on the needs of the end product.

Why Luminy® PLA?

3D printing filaments made with Luminy® PLA have a stable diameter, which allows for excellent detail in the final print, exceptional visual qualities, layer adhesion, good stiffness, and dimensional accuracy and stability. Thanks to the biobased nature of Luminy® PLA it does not let off unpleasant smells or toxic fumes as it prints, making it a favorable alternative to ABS.

The most common Luminy® PLA grades used for 3D printing are:

  • LX175 for general purpose printing
  • LX530 and L130 for high-speed and/or ultra-high-speed printing
  • LX930 and LX975 for large-scale printing
  • LX575 for whiteness and surface finish
  • High-heat resistant PLA and PLA compounds specially developed for demanding applications

In addition to home use, Luminy® PLA can be used in prototyping within the automotive, aerospace, consumer electronics, architecture, and manufacturing industries. Long-lasting items like home decor, furniture, and jewelry are made with Luminy® PLA.
