Our Wood-Filled PLA Filament is a consumer product used for FDM 3D Printing (Fused Deposition Modelling) and can be used in any consumer desktop 3D printer. The Wood-Filled PLA filament is made of polylactic acid (a sustainable bioplastic made from corn starch that is industrially compostable) and wood flour, a waste by-product of local sawmills. The product opportunity was to make a sustainable user friendly material that feels like “3D Printing Wood”.
