FAQ
What makes PolyMax™ PLA so different from other PLA?
PolyMax™ PLA features Polymaker's nano-reinforcement technology, which significantly increases its ductility.
Ductility is the ability of a material to exhibit plastic deformation before fracture.
To put it simply, PolyMax™ PLA will always bend instead of breaking. The opposite of ductile materials can be seen as brittle materials.
What is the difference between PolyLite™ PLA, PolyMax™ PLA and PolyLite™ PLA Pro?
Short answer:
PolyLite™ PLA is a very rigid material with very low impact resistance.
PolyMax™ PLA is an extremely ductile material with high impact resistance and durability.
PolyLite™ PLA Pro is the best of both worlds combining excellent rigidity and high impact strength.
Long answer:
What is PolyMax™ PLA heat resistance temperature?
PolyMax™ PLA is a PLA-based product and will display similar heat resistance temperature as regular PLA: ~60˚C (Glass Transition Temperature).
For similar printability with higher heat resistance, check out PolyMax™ PETG (~80˚C)
Will the spools work in an AMS?
Yes. Polymaker redesigned the edges of their spools so all Polymaker products have better compatibility in the Bambu Lab AMS.
Is this material food safe?
Polymaker does not have data regarding whether or not this material is food safe.
Currently, no 3D printing material on the market is FDA food-safe compliant. To be certified as food safe, the actual object needs to be certified, not the base material.
The shape, bed used, environment the object was made, and much more go into getting a food safety certificate.
Currently, there is no certification that the FDA offers for 3D printing.
Is this material recyclable?
There is no streamlined answer for recycling PLA at this time. Polymaker's cardboard spools are biodegradable, but there is no simple way to recycle PLA at this time.
