The TDS print-settings section predates today's high-speed printers. For current settings, use Settings for printers without a profile.

Material

  • 100% virgin NatureWorks Ingeo 4043D PLA resin, with no fillers or stretchers.
  • Glass transition temperature: 55–60°C.
  • Diameter tolerance: ±0.02 mm, measured with a multi-axis laser system in real time.
  • Made in our own facility in Fargo, North Dakota.

Typical mechanical properties (3D printed specimens)

Property Test Value
Maximum tensile strength ASTM D638 41 MPa
Tensile strength at yield ASTM D638 37 MPa
Tensile modulus ASTM D638 3.2 GPa
Tensile elongation ASTM D638 1.8%
Notched Izod impact ASTM D256 26 J/m

All specimens were 3D printed, so they represent real printed parts more closely than molded test bars.
