UltiMaker Tough PLA is a high-performance filament designed to combine the ease of printing with PLA and the mechanical properties of ABS. This makes it an ideal choice for creating durable, functional prototypes and end-use parts that require toughness and reliability.
Key Features
Enhanced Toughness: UltiMaker Tough PLA offers toughness similar to ABS, making it perfect for applications that need to withstand mechanical stress and impact. This filament is ideal for creating jigs, fixtures, and tools that require durability.
Easy to Print: Unlike ABS, Tough PLA is easy to print with, offering the same user-friendly experience as regular PLA. It minimizes warping and delamination, ensuring reliable printing of larger parts.
Compatibility: UltiMaker Tough PLA is compatible with a variety of UltiMaker printers, including the S series. It works seamlessly with PVA and Breakaway support materials, allowing for complex geometries and intricate designs.
Post-Processing: This filament offers greater machinability than regular PLA, enabling more post-processing techniques such as drilling, sanding, and painting.
Applications
Functional Prototyping: Create prototypes that closely mimic the mechanical properties of the final product, allowing for accurate testing and validation.
Tooling and Manufacturing Aids: Produce durable tools and fixtures that can withstand the rigors of a manufacturing environment.
End-Use Parts: Ideal for creating parts that need to endure mechanical stress, such as brackets, housings, and enclosures.
Why Choose Tough PLA?
UltiMaker Tough PLA stands out due to its superior printability and mechanical properties. Whether you're a professional engineer or a hobbyist, this filament offers the reliability and quality you need for your 3D printing projects. Its combination of toughness, ease of use, and compatibility with support materials makes it an indispensable material for innovative and functional designs.
