PolyMax PLA
PolyMax is a family of advanced 3D printing filaments produced with Polymaker’s Nano-reinforcement technology, to deliver exceptional mechanical properties and printing quality.
PolyMax PLA is an incredibly easy-to-print filament with improved mechanical properties, making it an excellent alternative to ABS.
What makes PolyMax PLA so different from other PLA?
PolyMax™ PLA features our nano-reinforcement technology which
significantly increases its ductility. Ductility is the ability of
a material to exhibit plastic deformation before fracture.
In simple
words, PolyMax™ PLA will always bend instead of breaking. The opposite
of ductile materials can be seen as brittle materials.
