Description
BigRep's PLX filament is optimized for large-format 3D printers and consistently delivers high-quality parts at an attractive price. Particularly easy to print, PLX achieves beautiful print surfaces on even the most demanding geometries.
PLX is incredibly versatile, allowing printer settings to be tuned for either higher speeds or beautifully smooth surface finishes. PLX delivers consistent results that make it a reliable material for large-format printing in any industry. Given its balanced performance under various mechanical stresses, PLX is a great all-around filament choice.
As a PLA-based material derived from organic compounds, PLX is biodegradable under the correct conditions. CO2 neutral and environmentally friendly, it has a much lower ecological impact than other plastics derived from fossil fuels.
