PLA+ & PLA

PLA is a product derived from natural crops like corn, unlike other polymer plastics. It is eco-friendly and biodegradable. Almost all FDM 3D printers can print with PLA. As its melting point is low, PLA is very easy to print.

PLA+ is PLA that has been enhanced by adding modifiers during PLA synthesis.The mechanical properties (flexibility, strength, ductility, etc.) of PLA+ are superior. 3D printed models from PLA+ have a smoother surface and better appearance.

A Instruction of SUNLU 3D printer filaments

图片
3D printer filament comes in various types. SUNLU provides multiple 3D printer filament types, including PLA, PLA+, PETG, TPU, ABS, ASA filament, and many modified PLAs such as wood PLA and silk PLA. These 3D filaments have different properties, so they can be used for different applications. TPU is a flexible material similar to rubber and can be used to make protective covers for smartphones and other valuable equipment. ABS filament is a very high-strength material and can be used to create mechanical parts. SUNLU's 3D printer filaments are affordable and high-quality.

The 3D scanner will be the necessary tool for AR/VR creators

  As same as the developing history of 3D printers, the 3D scanners will be more and more popular in the Consumer Grade market. The price of a Handheld 3D scanner with high accuracy declined quickly, cause of several new 3D scanners released by some 3D scanner firms. You can buy a handy 3D scanner with 0.1mm accuracy under $700 now. So, it is affordable for most 3D designers. The 3D scanner will be the necessary tool for AR/VR creators.

Plant-based resins and their advantages

图片
  What is Plant-Based Resin and What Are Its Advantages? Plant-based resins are a new type of material used in 3D printing filaments and liquid resins. These resins are derived from plants rather than petroleum. Using plant-based resins offers several benefits: Sustainable Materials Unlike petroleum-based plastics, plant-based resins utilize renewable crops as the raw material. This makes them a more sustainable option since crops can be regrown rather than relying on finite fossil fuel resources. Plants like corn, sugarcane, and soy beans are common sources for bio-based resins. Lower Carbon Footprint Plant-based resins have a lower carbon footprint compared to traditional resins. The plants absorb CO2 as they grow, offsetting some of the emissions generated during manufacturing. Studies have found that bioplastics emit 25-50% less greenhouse gases compared to oil-based plastics. Biodegradable Many plant-based resin formulas are biodegradable. They can break down through natural p
