UltiMaker Tough PLA for S series 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.
 
- 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
 
Below are some key mechanical properties of Ultimaker Tough PLA:
- Good flexural strength (78 MPa)
- Good impact strength (Izod tested to 9 kJ/m²)
- High hardness (79 Shore D)
- Melting temperature (151 °C)
 
Ultimaker Tough PLA provides a durable material solution for:
- Functional prototyping
- Tooling
- Manufacturing aids
