Description
Ultimaker Tough PLA
Ultimaker Tough PLA is an engineering-grade PLA (polylactic acid) material with a toughness similar to ABS. It is ideal for printing functional prototypes and tools in larger formats – without the risk of delamination or warping. Ultimaker Tough PLA offers the same safe and easy handling as standard PLA.
Ultimaker Tough PLA filament is designed to be an easy-to-use engineering plastic:
- Better machinability than PLA allows for more post-processing techniques
- Similar strength and higher stiffness compared to ABS
- No delamination or warping for reliable printing of larger parts
- Compatible with PVA and Breakaway support materials for full geometric freedom
Create robust plastic parts
The impact resistance of Tough PLA is closer to that of ABS than to standard PLA. This means your 3D-printed parts can be used for more functional applications such as jigs, fixtures and tools.
Optimised for large prints
If you need toughness for large models, Tough PLA is an easy-to-print and reliable material – ideal for 3D printing with the larger build volume of the Ultimaker S5.
Bringing complex geometries to life
Designs with intricate curves, fine details and overhangs can be printed without any issues using Tough PLA, particularly when combined with Breakaway or water-soluble PVA support material.
