UltiMaker Tough PLA filament 2,85 mm / 0,75 kg

UltiMaker Tough PLA filament for 3D printer

UltiMaker Tough PLA filament for a 3D printer is an easy-to-use, high-strength material designed for the production of functional prototypes and tools. Optimized for printing large parts. Along with being safe and easy to use as regular PLA, it has similar strength and higher rigidity compared to ABS.

Tough PLA can be combined with UltiMaker PVA and Breakaway support filaments.

• Better processability than PLA allows for more post-processing techniques.
• Similar strength and higher rigidity compared to ABS.
• Less brittle than regular PLA.
• Gives a more matte surface than PLA.
• The material can be processed - it can be sanded, drilled or cut.
• No delamination or distortion for reliable printing of large parts.
• Compatible with PVA and Breakaway auxiliaries for complete geometric freedom.

Tough PLA application

Thanks to its qualities, UltiMaker Tough PLA is a good solution in functional prototyping, 3D printing of various kinds of tools and production aids.

• Create strong plastic parts

The impact strength of Tough PLA is closer to ABS than regular PLA. This means that your 3D printed parts can be used for more functional applications such as fixtures, fittings and tools.

• Optimized for large printed parts

If you need strength in larger models, Tough PLA is an easy-to-print and reliable material that is ideal for high-volume S-Series 3D printers.

• Achieve complex geometry

Designs with complex curves, small details and protrusions can be easily printed with Tough PLA, especially when combined with Breakaway support or water-soluble PVA.
