Ultimaker Tough PLA is a technical PLA (polylactic acid) material with a toughness similar to ABS. It is ideal for printing functional prototypes and tooling at larger sizes – without fear of delamination or warping. Our Tough PLA offers the same safe and easy use as regular PLA.
Tough PLA, 750g
Our Tough PLA filament is formulated to be an easy-to-use technical plastic:
Greater machinability than PLA allows 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
Tough PLA’s impact strength is closer to ABS than regular PLA. This means your 3D printed parts can be used for more functional applications, such as jigs, fixtures, and tools.
When you need toughness in large models, Tough PLA is an easy-to-print and reliable material – ideal for 3D printing with the Ultimaker S5’s bigger build volume.
Designs with intricate curves, fine details, and overhangs can be easily printed with Tough PLA, especially when combined with Breakaway or water-soluble PVA support.
