3D Printing services for PLA parts

Looking for custom parts made with PLA? We have gathered all suitable 3D printing services with delivery to Altoona, Pennsylvania, United States.

PLA is a biodegradable plastic used in FDM 3D printing. On average, it handles temperatures up to 126 °F (52 °C). It is rigid but relatively brittle, especially in overhanging or thin areas. This material is recommended for non-functional prototypes without especially small features. Among FDM plastics, PLA filament preserves the most details and is the one easiest to print with.

How much does 3D printing with PLA cost?

3D printing prices range based on the size and complexity of your model. To speed up the process you can drop your 3D model into the Instant order widget. Then, choose the material type and specify PLA in the drop down menu. Our system will show you the costs immediately, so you can decide whether or not you’d like to place an order.

What if I don’t have a 3D file?

3D printing starts from a model, so it is necessary to have a file. Fortunately, many companies that provide additive manufacturing can help you design the parts. For more complex modeling tasks, consider hiring a professional 3D designer.
