Manufacturing
Protolabs’ expertise supported the fine tuning and optimisation of the design, to align with the projects speed and cost-effective requirements.
With a relatively low melting point (between 150°C and 180°C), PLA is one of the easiest thermoplastics to 3D print. Here’s how PLA melting point factors into choosing the optimal print settings, such as nozzle temperature and print bed temperature.
