A 3D printed part made from PLA is tested for heat resistance. What is the expected behavior when exposed to 80°C?
AThe part will remain rigid and stable
BThe part will soften and deform
CThe part will melt immediately
DThe part will become brittle and crack
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand PLA heat resistance

    PLA softens around 60-70°C, so 80°C is above its softening point.
  2. Step 2: Predict behavior at 80°C

    At 80°C, PLA will soften and may deform but not melt immediately.
  3. Final Answer:

    The part will soften and deform -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    PLA at 80°C = Softens and deforms [OK]
Quick Trick: PLA softens above 60°C, expect deformation at 80°C [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Assuming PLA melts immediately
  • Thinking PLA stays rigid at 80°C
