Pheatus PLA-AERO aeWorthy™

Lightweight foaming PLA 3D printing material

On-Demand Foaming Technology
aeWorthyTM PLA-Aero is a PLA filament that will start foaming with the aid of a blowing agent during the printing process. The blowing agent is in an unexcited state in the PLA filament before printing. During the printing process by adjusting the printing temperature, the foaming ratio of the blowing agent can be easily controlled. The
maximum foaming ratio can reach 200%.

aeWorthyTM PLA-Aero is a type of lightweight 3D printing material specially developed for aircraft model, ship model, drone and other fields.

PLA-Aero controls the foaming ratio of the material by adjusting the temperature
during the printing process so that the density of the material extruded by the nozzle can be adjusted within a certain range. With this technique, it is easy to reduce the weight of the model. In the best-case scenario, the model weight can be reduced to 50% of a model printed with ordinary PLA. In addition to that, the matte texture of the printed surface can reduce the visibility of printed layers and thus give a smooth surface finish.
