<p style="text-align: justify;">PLA (Polylactic Acid) is probably the easiest material to work with when you're first starting out with 3D printing. PLA is a biodegradable thermoplastic that has been derived from renewable resources like corn starch and sugar cane. This makes PLA environmentally friendly and very safe to work with.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">PLA also has a very sharp glass transition point so if you use a fan to cool it, it will set into a solid very quickly. PLA can achieve a greater range of geometries than are possible with other plastics. It also reduces the thermal stress on the printed part, making warping less of an issue with larger PLA parts.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="line-height: 1.5em;">Finishing</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">PLA does not require any curing or post-production treatment. Should you wish to, however, PLA can be sanded and coated with automotive spray filler. PLA can also be painted over with acrylic paint.</p>
