Description
Low Density & Lightweight Structure
Bambu PLA Aero achieves low density and lightweight prints through controlled foaming at high temperatures, creating fine internal pores within the model. This makes it an ideal material for energy-saving applications such as UAVs, aerodynamic models, and gliders.
Designed for Lightweight & Energy-Saving Prints
Although the filament density of Bambu PLA Aero is similar to regular PLA, the density of printed parts is reduced to approximately 50%–80%. When printing models of the same volume, PLA Aero parts can weigh about half as much as those made with PLA Basic.
Controllable Print Density
The density of PLA Aero prints can be adjusted by increasing printing temperature and reducing flow rate. Actual print density varies depending on parameters such as temperature, flow ratio, printing speed, model size, wall thickness, and infill density, offering flexible control for different applications.
The relationship between Parameter Change and Density
| Parameter Setting | Parameter Change | Average Density |

| Printing Temperature | Increases ↗ | Decreases ↘ |
| Printing Speed | Increases ↗ | Stable or Increases ↗ |
| Flow Rate Ratio | Increases ↗ | Increases ↗ |
| Model Size | Increases ↗ | Decreases ↘ |
| Wall Thickness (Wall Loops) | Increases ↗ | Increases ↗ |
| Infill Density | Increases ↗ | Increases ↗ |

Note: The actual required flow rate ratio and final print density may vary depending on model geometry, wall thickness, infill density, and printing parameters.
Tough with Good Impact Resistance
Compared to pre-foaming Wood PLA, Bambu PLA Aero produces tougher prints with improved resistance to impact, collision, and accidental drops, making it suitable for functional lightweight parts.
Matte Finish for Easy Coloring
Bambu PLA Aero features a matte surface texture that is easy to color and dye. Compared to PLA Basic, the matte finish delivers better dye absorption and more even coloring results, ideal for customized and painted models.
Important Printing Notes for PLA Aero
Foaming PLA materials such as Bambu PLA Aero require strict material drying and precise parameter control. Please carefully review the printing instructions for aircraft models using foaming PLA before starting the printing process to ensure stable foaming behavior and consistent results.

Printing Tips
• PLA Aero filament is relatively soft which may result in material loading and unloading failures during AMS printing.
• Drying conditions: 55℃ for 8 hrs. PLA Aero is highly sensitive to humidity. To achieve optimal printing performance, it is recommended further drying before use and after storage. For more details please refer to: Filament drying instructions on WIKI.
