Polymaker PolyLite LW-PLA Filament

PolyLite™ LW-PLA is a lightweight foamed PLA specifically engineered to print under regular PLA settings while achieving nearly half the weight — ideal for lightweight and aerodynamic 3D prints.

Active Foaming:

Requires significant modification of printing settings depending on temperature and printer setup to compensate for material expansion.

Needs very high printing temperatures (~250˚C) to achieve lightweight results.

High temperatures can lead to print defects such as stringing and blobs.

While it can produce lighter prints than passive foaming, the quality may be compromised due to heavy stringing.

Passive Foaming :

No major setting changes are needed from standard PLA printing (only a slight increase in retraction).

Provides lightweight results even at low temperatures (~190˚C).

Lower printing temperatures result in significantly better print quality and fewer defects.
