Technical Characteristics
Polylactic Acid (PLA) is a biodegradable thermoplastic polyester that is ideal to manufacture large and detailed objects due to its low thermal expansion. The material is very hard, which makes it a bit brittle. Nevertheless, it should not be employed in parts that need thermal resistance, as it starts to lose mechanical strength at about 60ºC.

Technical Characteristics
TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is often known as the bridge between rubber and plastic. It has a rubber-like appearance, meaning it can be durable, smooth to touch, quite flexible, and tough if printed with 100% infill. TPU has a high tear and tensile strength combined with great resistance to oil, greases, ozone, high temperatures (80-100˚C), and abrasion.
