USAGE AND APPLICATIONS OF RECYCLABLE PLA FILAMENT:

• • 100% Recycled
  • Good mechanical properties
  • High-quality print
  • Smooth flow

If compared to basic Smart Materials PLA, this recycled PLA offers good mechanical strength and smooth flow. These are crucial factors when choosing recycled materials for your 3D printer, especially considering variations in quality seen in other brands.

Why Choose Recycled PLA?

Opting for sustainable PLA with good mechanical properties is an easy choice. Although not pure PLA, it serves various applications, contributing to environmental conservation.

3D printing revolutionized home manufacturing, but excess plastic waste became a concern. FDM 3D printers predominantly use plastics, contributing to environmental issues. Recycling filament helps extend the life of devices and reduce waste.

Choosing Smartfil Recycled PLA benefits the environment while ensuring quality prints.

Features of Smart Materials Recycled PLA:

Smartfil PLA Recycled offers consistent tones without color transitions, setting it apart from other brands. Choose from a wide range of shades, a trademark feature of the brand.

Smart Materials has achieved recycled PLA without compromising properties or print quality. The filament is spooled on a recyclable cardboard reel, enhancing sustainability.

Why Choose Recycled PLA for Your 3D Printer?

If unsure about material selection for your intended print, consider the purpose and the temperature the material will endure (PLA has lower heat resistance). PLA is easy to print but lacks the mechanical properties and impact resistance of ABS, making it suitable for decorative or prototyping purposes.
