I have discovered a PLA filament and have a couple of questions regarding it. The resin is made by NatureWorks. The specific name seems to be “Ingeo PLA” even more specific “Ingeo PLA 3d850”. Is this something you have used, what were your experiences? I tried to do a search for anybody that has used it on this site and did not come up with anything. Am I wrong?.....Maybe this is my chance to give back to the community.....This is what I have learned.
Just a warning, I have not yet used it myself.
Although I have not used it myself the product does look promising.
From what little research I have done this appears to be a product that bridges the gaps between PLA and ABS. From what I can tell it takes the desirable properties of PLA such as ease of printing and low shrink rate and melds them with the desirable properties of ABS such as impact strength and heat deformation temperature. It looks like an annealing process in the oven will increase this deformation temperature (this is a good thing)
The following link contains some information you may or may not find interesting. This includes some information regarding the manufacture and comparison to other filaments.

The following are two that sell it. This is not the cheapest material in the world but, if it delivers as promised it may well be worth it.
Boots Industries sells it as “Super Premium PLA” they are from Canada.

3dom USA is another.
