HT-PLA - High-Temperature Resistant PLA Filament

Q: How do I perform heat treatment on HT-PLA?

The heat treatment is performed by placing the printed part in an oven at a temperature of about 80-100°C for 30 to 60 minutes, after which let it cool gradually.

Q: Is a heated bed needed for 3D printing with HT-PLA?

It is recommended to use a heated surface with a temperature of about 50-70°C to prevent deformation and to ensure better adhesion of the model.

Q: Is HT-PLA suitable for beginners?

Yes, HT-PLA is suitable for beginners due to the ease of printing, similar to that of regular PLA.

Q: How long does it take to print with HT-PLA compared to regular PLA?

The printing time is the same as with standard PLA, with the only difference being the additional thermal treatment after printing.

Q: Can I use HT-PLA for food containers?

Although HT-PLA is more temperature resistant, direct contact with food is not recommended unless the material is specifically certified for this purpose.

Q: What speed of 3D printing is recommended for HT-PLA?

It is recommended to use a printing speed between 40 and 80 mm/s for optimal results and good detail, but it is advisable to check the technical data of the manufacturer for each roll.

Q: What are the most suitable applications of HT-PLA-GF?

HT-PLA-GF is most commonly used for structural parts requiring high strength and resistance to deformation, such as industrial components and machine details.

HT-PLA filaments are specially developed materials for 3D printing, combining the high precision and ease of processing of traditional PLA with significantly improved heat resistance and strength. In this category at 3DLarge, you will find the best HT-PLA materials, including the popular Polymaker HT-PLA and HT-PLA-GF series, designed for both hobbyists and professionals seeking exceptional quality and durability.

What is HT-PLA?

HT-PLA (High-Temperature PLA) is a special type of polylactic acid (PLA) modified for high thermal resistance. This type of material retains its shape and characteristics at temperatures up to 150°C after appropriate thermal treatment. HT-PLA is suitable for making functional details, engineering prototypes, and components that need to withstand higher operating temperatures while maintaining the ecological compatibility of classic PLA.

Benefits and advantages of using HT-PLA

High thermal resistance

The main advantage of HT-PLA is its ability to withstand significantly higher temperatures than standard PLA. After proper curing, the material can withstand temperatures up to 150°C, making it suitable for applications in the automotive industry, mechanical parts, and devices exposed to thermal loads.

Excellent strength and impact resistance

HT-PLA provides very good mechanical strength and impact resistance, making it ideal for functional parts and prototypes. Products printed with this material are more reliable and have an extended lifespan compared to standard PLA.

Easy processing and 3D printing

HT-PLA prints as easily as traditional PLA, without the need for special printer settings. Only after printing is additional thermal treatment needed to achieve maximum heat resistance.
