What is PLA? Recently, I have volunteered to 3D print parts for my robotics team. It started as a part or two, but now, the club relies on me for their 3D printing needs. After constant printing, I became curious, I use my printer every day, but I don’t actually know much about it. So, as an aspiring material scientist, I decided to research the materials inside 3D printers and get some answers.
