Bambu PLA Aero

Bambu PLA Aero achieves low density and light weight by foaming at high temperatures during printing and creating small holes inside the prints. It's the perfect choice for light-weight and energy-saving prints, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), aerodynamic models, and gliders.

Foaming PLA materials (PLA Aero) have high requirements for material drying and parameter settings.

When printing models of the same volume, PLA Aero is about half the weight of PLA Basic.

Controllable Model Density

 

Achieve lower density of the prints by increasing printing temperature and lowering flow rate.
