PLA - LW | Bright Red

PolyLite™ LW-PLA is a special foamed PLA designed to print with similar settings as regular PLA but with half the weight.

What is the difference between active foaming and passive foaming?

PolyLite™ LW-PLA is not an active foaming filament, which means it will not foam when extruded from the nozzle depending on the temperature. PolyLite™ LW-PLA is already pre-foamed.
