Feature Introduction:
PLA K6 is an upgraded PLA material with high toughness. The modified material is designed with high toughness in both injection molded and printed products. The impact strength of injection parts is more than 10 times that of raw materials; the unnotched impact strength of printed products is also more than 3 times that of injection products made by raw materials, and their notched impact strength is more than 6 times that of raw materials. Furthermore, it retains the edges of PLA printing, such as no warpage and great interlayer bonding, thus it is applicable to structural parts with higher engineering performance requirements.
