ReForm rPLA is a high-quality, bio-based, post-industrial recycled PLA composite optimized for large-format 3D printing. This material represents a strong commitment to circular production and environmental sustainability. Not only is it 100% recycled, it is also 100% recyclable and 100% industrially compostable. Designed with an amorphous structure and high viscosity, ReForm rPLA provides exceptional dimensional stability, making it ideal for large-format 3D printing (LFAM). It offers excellent printability and enables scratch-resistant parts with high surface quality. The base materials are food contact compliant, and ReForm rPLA is compatible with both FDM/FFF and LFAM technologies.

- Customizable parts - Supports custom designs for unique and customized applications.
- Functional Prototypes - Provides the strength and accuracy needed for testing and design iterations.
- Economical Production of Parts - Enables cost-effective fabrication of parts without compromising quality.
Storage and Handling.
ReForm rPLA is an inert and safe material under standard storage conditions, presenting no significant risks. To ensure the highest quality, stability and long-term performance, some good storage practices are recommended.
For optimal results:
- Store in a well-sealed container to prevent moisture absorption.
- Keep in a dry, cool and well-ventilated environment.
- Avoid direct exposure to sunlight or intense artificial light sources to preserve the integrity of the material.
