The PLX filament from BigRep is a PLA-derived, bioperformance material for open-environment 3D printing. An innovative and robust thermoplastic filament, PLX can print up to 80% faster than a standard PLA material with no modifications to the 3D printer at a strength exceeding the typical mechanical properties of even ABS-printed parts – enabling industrial additive manufacturing in large-format at unprecedented speeds. PLX allows printer settings to be tailored for incredible speeds or beautifully smooth surface finishes. With consistent, quality results, PLX is a reliable material for large-format printing.

Due to its organic composition, PLX is biodegradable under the right conditions. Compared to other plastics derived from fossil fuels, it has a significantly lower ecological impact.
