Who We Are
Two sisters Kk and Kris, along with our five children, make up the heart of K3Kreations
Our family-run business aims to bring joy, beauty and play to the world. We're starting out with fun articulated creations from a collaboration of artists and working toward our own designs in home decor and art, eventually mastering custom designs and prints. Stay tuned as we expand and grow.
About 3D Printing
3D printing is a cutting-edge technology that transforms digital designs into tangible objects by layering materials, usually plastic, resin, or metal. This innovative process allows for the creation of intricate toys and unique art pieces with precision and creativity. Each item is crafted to be lightweight, durable, and customizable, making 3D printing a versatile solution for both play and decoration. Explore our collection to discover how 3D printing can bring imagination to life!
About PLA
What Is PLA Bioplastic
Polylactic acid, also known as PLA, is a biodegradable and biocompostable plastic made from fermented plant starch such as corn, cassava, sugarcane or sugar beet pulp. The raw material uses the agricultural waste from these crops without competing with food production. It's not a perfect solution, as many PLA products have synthetic additives to improve quality and durability, but it's a step in the right direction, still far outweighing petroleum plastic in its effects on the environment.
The Environmental Benefits
Lower Emissions
PLA requires 65% less energy to produce than traditional, petroleum-based plastics. It also emits 68% fewer greenhouse gases.
Comparable to PET Plastics
More than 95% of the world’s plastics are created from natural gas or crude oil. Fossil fuel-based plastics are not only hazardous; they’re also a finite resource. PLA products present a functional, renewable, and comparable replacement. Although not a perfect solutions, a step in the right direction.
Biobased
A biobased product’s materials are derived from renewable agriculture or plants. Because all PLA products come from sugar starches, polylactic acid is considered biobased.
Biodegradable
PLA products achieve international standards for biodegradation, naturally degrading over time. It does require certain conditions to degrade quickly, however, and left in a regular compost pile will remain intact for many years. In an industrial composting facility that can handle PLA, it can break down in 45–90 days. Unfortunately, these are still rare facilities. Hopefully as printing products become more mainstream, proper composting will be a more viable option.
No Toxic Fumes
Unlike other plastics, bioplastics don’t emit toxic fumes when they’re incinerated.
FDA-Approved
Polylactic acid is approved by the FDA as a Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) polymer and is safe for food contact.
