BigRep rPLA - Coming soon!
As a more sustainable option, BigRep rPLA is a biopolymer made from recycled PLA. It is also cost effective and great for prototyping.
Description
Coming soon! We are proud to launch our new recycled filaments for high-quality production of large 3D prints.
BigRep rPLA is recycled PLA (polylactic acid) that is collected, shredded, re-mixed and homogenized to produce a quality filament. rPLA is affordable, easy-to-use, and with low shrinkage making it great for prototyping, plus it prints well at lower temperatures and high speeds. Using recycled 3D printing filament helps reduce waste and the need for new, virgin plastics, which conserves natural resources, lowers energy consumption, and decreases carbon emissions. In addition to being a greener alternative, BigRep’s rPLA filament is affordable easy to print.
