Ease of Use

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. UltiMaker's 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

Create Tough Plastic Parts

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.

Optimised for Large Prints

When you need toughness in large models, Tough PLA is an easy-to-print and reliable material – ideal for S series 3D printers with bigger build volumes.

Achieve Complex Geometries

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.
