Technologies dedicated to the rapid prototyping uses a wide range of materials. The mostly used plastic materials are based on polymers. It is for example an Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), Nylon, Polycarbonate (PC), or composites based on different polymers. New devices designed for the production of a prototype models, based on Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) are able to work with environmentally friendly and biodegradable materials as Polylactic acid (PLA). The aim of this paper is to show the possibility of using materials based on organic polymers whose properties are comparable to conventionally used polymers. Presented are measured and statistically evaluated data related to basic properties of PLA material.
