65% lighter than regular PLA. Perfect choice for aircraft, cosplay, and more.

PLA Lightweight is a material that changes its structure when heated in the nozzle. The additives inside the polymer rapidly expand during printing, giving the filament a distinctive foamy structure.

The material's foamy structure significantly decreases filament consumption. It is possible to print 2-3 times as many models from one spool as with regular PLA.
