Custom 3D printed parts made by BuildplateCo

PLA 3D printing service

Fast, economical PLA printed parts.

PLA is the easiest, fastest path for many indoor prototypes and utility parts. Use it when detail, speed, and clean presentation matter more than heat resistance.

Print-ready STL, STEP, or STP files. CAD repair or model creation is paid work and priced before it begins.

Review technical material properties
Part-performance property Manufacturer-reported value
Density 1.21 g/cm3
Tensile strength 53.4 MPa
Elongation at break 20.3%
Flexural strength 81.8 MPa
Flexural modulus 2740 MPa
Impact strength 19.8 kJ/m2 (Izod notched)
Heat deflection temperature (HDT) 53.8 C
Vicat softening temperature 54 C

These are typical material values from manufacturer testing, usually on standardized specimens. Printed-part results vary with geometry, load direction, wall thickness, infill, environment, and production method. HDT is a comparison point—not a guaranteed continuous-use temperature.

Have a specific temperature, load, chemical, wear, or compliance requirement? Ask for an application review before ordering so the recommendation accounts for the actual part—not only a filament datasheet.
