PLA BioWood | Natural Wood | Spool | 1kg

PLA BioWood by ROSA3D is an innovative 3D printing filament that combines the eco-friendly nature of biopolymers with the aesthetic warmth of wood. Designed for both beginners and professionals, this material offers ease of use and great surface finish with very low shrinkage, making it ideal for open-frame 3D printers.

What truly sets BioWood apart is its composition based on 100% natural and renewable resources. The filament is biodegradable in industrial composting conditions, providing a sustainable alternative to conventional plastics. Its wood-like texture and finish make it a popular choice for printing objects that benefit from a natural appearance and tactile feel.

PLA BioWood prints can be post-processed like real wood: sanded, drilled, painted, or varnished — giving designers total flexibility in bringing their creations to life. Whether you’re crafting artistic pieces, functional objects, or prototypes with a unique natural touch, BioWood offers a perfect balance of printability and aesthetics.

⚠️ Note: Due to its wood-based content, this filament should be dried before printing and used with a hardened nozzle (recommended ≥ 0.5mm) to prevent clogging.

🔄 Note: This version comes on a classic plastic spool for instant use — no masterspool required.

📦 Please be aware that spool type may vary for all filaments.

♻️ Eco-Friendly Packaging. All Rosa3d filaments are vacuum sealed and packed in recyclable, minimal-waste boxes — better for your prints and better for the planet.

🙋‍♂️ FAQs

Q: Is it safe for food-contact products like cups or plates?
A: The base material is made from food-safe ingredients, but for actual food-contact use, the final product needs certification. We recommend using it for decorative or display purposes unless tested.

Q: Can I compost unused or failed prints?
A: Yes, but only in industrial composting facilities. It won’t break down effectively in a home compost bin.

Q3: Do I need a special nozzle for BioWood?
A: Due to the abrasive particles in the filament, it’s highly recommended to use a hardened steel nozzle, preferably 0.5mm or larger.

Q4: What settings should I use for the best print quality?
A: Start with PLA-like settings, but lower speed slightly and dry the filament before printing for optimal results.
