NatureWorks is the leading supplier of high-performance PLA to the 3D filament manufacturing industry. An advanced materials company offering a broad portfolio of renewably sourced polymers from coffee capsules to food serviceware and appliances to 3D printing, NatureWorks has been leading applications innovation for biomaterials since 1989. Their 3D series of Ingeo™ PLA biopolymer grades are made by taking plants to capture and sequester CO2 transforming it into long-chain sugar molecules. NatureWorks ferment those sugars to make lactic acid, the same chemical produced by muscles after some hard exercise. This lactic acid is the building block of the whole range of advanced, low-carbon materials called Ingeo.
Adaptiiv has validated standard PLA 3D printing filament made using 100% NatureWorks Ingeo™ PLA biopolymer for use with its 3D printing software solution.
