SubscriberHi all. I want to analyse some CAD models which I am going to 3D print. Can anyone please help me figure out how can I assign best possible material for a PLA plastic material used in 3D printing -

SubscriberThe attached pdf has the material properties of PLA that you need.
If you want help deciding which values to use, just ask.
PLA is not recommended for parts that require mechanical strength.
Do you have access to any other materials?
If so, why did you choose PLA over some other material?
