Description

Kimya PLA-R is a 3D printing filament made from recycled and biodegradable PLA (Polylactic Acid), a biosourced polymer derived from corn starch. As a natural alternative to petroleum-based plastics like polyethylene, PLA-R is both eco-friendly and easy to print with. It is odorless and well-suited for a wide range of applications—from industrial uses such as packaging to everyday items, toys, prototypes, and modeling. Kimya PLA-R combines printability, sustainability, and versatility, making it a great choice for environmentally conscious 3D printing.

Benefits

• Consistent Print Quality

• Low Shrinkage

• Fast Printing Speed
