PLA Aero filament with Bambu Lab spool
Bambu PLA Aero filament presents low density and light weight by foaming at high temperatures during printing and creating small holes inside the prints. It's the perfect choice for light-weight and energy-saving prints, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), aerodynamic models, and gliders. The materials of PLA Aero have high requirements for material drying and parameter settings. Please carefully read Instructions for printing aircraft model with foaming PLA (PLA Aero) before starting the printing process.
Low Density and Light Weight
Bambu PLA Aero has almost the same filament density as regular PLA, while the prints density is only 50% to 80%. When printing models of the same volume with same infil rates, PLA Aero is about half the weight of PLA Basic.

Controllable Model Density
Achieve lower density of the prints by increasing printing temperature and lowering flow rate. The average density of prints will vary with changes in parameters such as actual printing temperature, flow rate ratio, printing speed, model size, wall thickness and infill density.

Matte Finish For Easy Coloring
Bambu PLA Aero provides an easy-to-color matte surface texture with better dyeing results as compared to PLA Basic.
