Does a high-temperature environment affect the strength of Super PLA+ / PLA PROFESSIONAL?Updated 4 months ago

Yes, high temperatures can significantly affect the strength of PLA and its variants. PLA has a relatively low glass transition temperature of around 60°C (140°F), making it susceptible to softening and deformation when exposed to elevated temperatures. For applications that require better heat resistance, here are the Vicat Softening Temperatures of other materials:

• PETG: 85.1°C
• ABS: 103.4°C
• ASA 106.2°C
• PC Professional: 110.3°C
• Easy Nylon: 181.2°C
