What is the difference between PLA and PLA+?

Image
 In the field of 3D printing, PLA filament is a commonly used 3D printing material, which is suitable for FDM printing. Because PLA is an environmentally friendly material, many 3D printing material manufacturers have studied different formulas to improve and upgrade PLA, among which eSUN PLA+ filament is the most famous. So PLA vs PLA+, what is the difference between them? Firstly, introduce two  3D printing materials  respectively: PLA is an environmentally friendly material that is easy to print and has a smooth surface. Compared with ABS,  PLA filament  does not need to close the cavity, has low shrinkage, does not warp, does not crack, and can print large-scale models; PLA do not have irritating odors when printing, and are safe and environmentally friendly. eSUN PLA filament has passed FDA certification and is safer to use; PLA can be used for early concept models, rapid prototyping, and metal parts casting. PLA+ is based on the modification of PLA materia...

What kind of materials can 3D printers use?

 3D printers can print anything, but what  3D printing materials  can be used is a question. What is the material of the 3D printer? What are 3D printer materials? It's a bit like 2D printer ink. A 3D object is formed by layering and solidifying 3D printing materials. 3D printers can use a variety of materials, but there are different types of 3D printer materials that can be used with each printing method. In the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) method, a material called a filament is used. 3D printer filament  is a long, thin strand of meltable resin. In the case of stereolithography (SLA method/DLP method) or inkjet method (material injection method),  3d printer resin  cured by ultraviolet rays is used. In the case of the powder sintering method (SLS method) or the binder jetting method, powder materials are used. do it. In addition to resin, various powder materials such as metal powder and gypsum can be used. According to your printer type and printing...
