ABOUT POLYETRA™ PLA+
Polyetra™ PLA+ is a toughened, performance-enhanced PLA developed for applications that demand greater durability than standard PLA without sacrificing printability or surface quality. Its modified formulation provides significantly improved impact resistance and toughness while maintaining excellent surface finish, dimensional stability and reliable layer adhesion.
Designed for functional prototypes, brackets, fixtures, tools and mechanically demanding parts, PLA+ combines the convenient processing and clean finish of PLA with the added durability required for more demanding applications—delivering reliable, consistent performance from spool to spool.
