PLA multifilament

It is a bioplastic material made from PLA multifilament from the food industry. When milk turns sour lactic acid is formed, which is the monomer of PLA. However, PLA in this case is manufactured industrially from starch, which is a disposal of the food industry. The filament is designed and printed in 3D to be able to work with the mechanical properties of the multifilament and volume textures. The core of the filament has many structures. The structures are surrounded by soft and degradable monofilament so that they can be knitted on a machine. When PLA is subjected to different weather conditions with the passage of time and the effect of the water when it rains, the mechanical properties of the material change and affect its volume, altering the shape of the multifilament structure and with it, the shape of the woven material. Its applications focus on textile products, fashion, packaging and the automotive sector.
