The Bambu Lab PLA Aero filament is specifically designed for applications requiring lightweight, durable, and high-performance 3D prints, making it ideal for radio-controlled (RC) planes, drones, unmanned aerial vehicles, gliders, and models with aerodynamic requirements. Thanks to its controlled thermal foaming technology, this material allows for a significant reduction in the weight of printed parts while maintaining a solid and durable structure.

During printing, PLA Aero generates internal microfoam by increasing temperature, achieving a print density between 50% and 80% compared to conventional PLA. This process not only reduces weight but also allows for adjusting the final density of the model by varying parameters such as extrusion temperature, print speed, flow ratio, and wall thickness. This customization capability makes PLA Aero a superior option for projects where performance and efficiency are key.

Compared to foamed Wood PLA, Bambu PLA Aero offers higher impact resistance, collision, and drop protection.

In addition to being lightweight, Bambu PLA Aero offers high impact resistance, outperforming other foamed filaments like Wood PLA. This makes it ideal for demanding environments where greater durability against impacts or drops is required. It also stands out for its matte finish that is easy to paint, allowing for clean, aesthetic surfaces ready for customization.

The filament also incorporates integrated RFID technology, which enables automatic configuration of print parameters when used with compatible AMS systems from Bambu Lab. This improves process efficiency, eliminates manual steps, and reduces setup errors, providing greater reliability and convenience in the workflow.

All print parameters are integrated via RFID technology and are automatically configured when using the AMS system.

Dimensional accuracy is guaranteed thanks to a diameter of 1.75 mm ± 0.03 mm, and the filament comes with a reusable spool, promoting a more sustainable 3D printing process. For the best performance, proper drying of the material and the use of recommended parameters are essential.

The PLA Aero filament is an advanced material designed for lightweight and technical parts, but it requires certain precautions during use to ensure optimal results.

This filament is relatively soft, which can cause failures when loading or unloading the material in automatic AMS systems. It is recommended to monitor the process, especially in equipment with automated feeding systems.

PLA Aero is very sensitive to moisture. To maintain optimal printing performance and controlled foaming, it must be properly dried before use and after prolonged storage periods. The recommended drying conditions are 55°C for 8 hours. Proper drying improves layer quality, dimensional stability, and reduces the risk of blockages.

For more details on the correct drying of the filament, it is recommended to consult the official Bambu Lab guide and the documents available in the Attachments tab.
