Description
Ultimaker Tough PLA Black 2.85 mm
Ultimaker Tough PLA is an engineering-grade PLA (polylactic acid) material with a toughness similar to ABS. It is ideal for 3D printing functional prototypes and tools in larger formats – without the risk of delamination or warping. Ultimaker Tough PLA is just as safe and easy to use as standard PLA.
Advantages of Ultimaker Tough PLA filament:
- Greater machinability than PLA, allowing for more post-processing techniques
- Similar strength, higher stiffness compared to ABS
- No delamination or warping for reliable printing of larger parts
- Compatible with PVA and break-away support materials for full geometric freedom
Robust and functional plastic parts
The impact resistance of Tough PLA is closer to that of ABS than to standard PLA. This means that your 3D-printed parts can be used for functional applications such as jigs, production aids and tools.
Optimised for large prints
If you require high toughness for large models, Tough PLA is a reliable material – ideal for 3D printing with the larger build volume of the Ultimaker S5.
Bringing complex geometries to life
Designs featuring intricate curves, fine details and overhangs can be printed effortlessly with Tough PLA, particularly when combined with Breakaway or water-soluble PVA support material.
