Bambu PLA Aero achieves low density and light weight by foaming at high temperatures during printing, resulting in small holes inside the prints. It's the perfect choice for lightweight and energy-saving prints, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), aerodynamic models, and gliders. Bambu PLA Aero has almost the same filament density as regular PLA, while the print density is only 50% to 80%.
Printing Tips
- Model density is controllable. Lower density prints can be achieved by increasing printing temperature and lowering flow rate.
- Foaming PLA materials (PLA Aero) have high requirements for material drying and parameter settings. Please carefully read the instructions for printing aircraft models with foaming PLA (PLA Aero) before starting the printing process.
- Feel free to reuse your Bambu Reusable Spool. Bambu Lab has designed the entire filament feeding system around a reusable spool concept, reducing plastic waste in filament consumption by at least 20%.
- All printing parameters are embedded in RFID, accessible through Bambu Lab AMS (Automatic Material System). Load and print! No more tedious setup steps.
