Ultrafuse® PLA Tough

Ultrafuse® PLA Tough is a highly versatile bio-based and biocompatible material specifically developed for the needs of professional users. It easily supports validated high printing speeds up to 300 mm/s1, without the need for any hardware adjustments, while delivering an exceptional surface finish and impressive impact strength. Furthermore, it boasts a particularly high success rate for large print jobs, ensuring a simple and cost-effective printing process.

720% tougher than standard PLA

Ultrafuse® PLA Tough can be an alternative to ABS as it is more sustainable, tougher, and easier to print. As it is compatible with water-soluble BVOH support material, this biocompatible material, which exhibits impressive impact strength – 720% greater than standard PLA – is the perfect solution for printing complex geometries for demanding, high-volume applications.

Additionally, Ultrafuse® PLA Tough parts can be enhanced by annealing the part in a separate process step, which can increase toughness by up to 230% and heat resistance by 257%.

• Elongation at Break (%): 7.4 (xy), 2.2 (zx)
• Impact Strength (kJ/m2): 33 (xy), 34 (xz), 10 (zx)
• Heat Resistance in annealed state (°C): 157 Vicat 10N, 94 HDT B at 0.45 MPa

Printing Guidelines

• Nozzle temperature: 200-220 °C
• Bed temperature: 50 - 70 °C
• Bed material: glass
• Nozzle diameter: ≥ 0.4 mm
• Print speed: 40 -3001 mm/s

Fast printing might require an additional increase in nozzle temperature; the stated print speed of 300 mm/s is based on current validations. As equipment and technology continue to evolve, it's possible that even higher print speeds may be achievable in the future.
