PLA Aero

PLA Aero

$0.3 per gram

Engineered for Featherweight Performance

This self-foaming PLA cuts print density to just 50–80% of standard PLA—meaning parts weigh roughly half as much while staying plenty functional. Whether it's RC wings or floating models, Aero gives you lightweight geometries without sacrificing durability.

Built Tough Enough to Play

With an impact strength of about 28.8 kJ/m², parts resist shocks, drops, and collision—as tough as some solid PLAs. Ideal for aerodynamic prototypes, lightweight art, or functional parts that still need to handle real-world use.

Matte Surface Made for Color

Aero’s natural matte finish isn’t just visually appealing—it’s a canvas. This texture holds dye and paint better than standard PLA, making color-rich designs pop straight from the print .


🔧 Best For:

  • RC planes & gliders — flyable, featherlight builds

  • Lightweight art & decor — striking looks with minimal weight

  • Functional prototypes — parts that need low mass and real durability

📌 Tip-Ready Info

  • Matte finish absorbs dye and paint beautifully.

  • Density control makes it versatile for hollow, light, or customizable-weight pieces.


TL;DR: PLA Aero gives you tough, matte-finished parts at roughly half the weight of regular PLA—with a surface made for bold colors and density tuned to your project needs.
