Made with low-density PLA and Polymaker's Stabilized Foaming technology, the Polymaker 1.75mm PolyLite LW-PLA Filament can re-foam after extrusion for a lattice foam structure that decreases the density by 30%. It prints using regular PLA settings and also produces a matte surface finish, which can hide the layer lines. LW-PLA is ideal for applications where weight is critical, which is why it is popular among aerodynamicists.
