Ultrafuse® PLA Tough
Ultrafuse® PLA Tough is a highly versatile biocompatible and biobased material specifically developed for the needs of professional users. It can easily handle validated high print speeds of up to 300mm/s1, without the need for hardware adjustment, while providing an exceptional surface finish and impressive impact resistance. In addition, it has a remarkably high success rate for large print jobs, ensuring an easy and cost-effective printing process.
720% harder than regular PLA
Ultrafuse® PLA Tough can be an alternative to ABS because it is more durable, strong and easy to print. Being compatible with water-soluble BVOH support material, this biocompatible material, which has an impressive impact strength - 720% higher than standard PLA - is the perfect solution for printing complex geometries for demanding high-volume applications.
In addition, Ultrafuse® PLA Tough parts can be enhanced by annealing them in a separate process step, which can increase toughness by up to 230% and heat resistance by 257%.
Examples of applications
- Jigs and fixtures
- Orthoses and prostheses
- Functional prototypes
With Ultrafuse® PLA Tough Filament, you can achieve sustainable, cost- and time-saving production of large components at fast speeds while maintaining impeccable surface quality. Elevate your designs and projects to PRO levels with a filament that guarantees outstanding performance, reliability and consistency.
Fast printing may require a further increase in nozzle temperature; the stated print speed of 300mm/s is based on current validations. As equipment and technology continue to develop, it is possible that even higher print speeds can be achieved in the future.
