UltiMaker Tough PLA Filament for 3D Printers
The UltiMaker Tough PLA Filament for 3D Printers is a high-strength, easy-to-use material designed for the production of functional prototypes and tooling. It is optimised for printing large parts. As safe and straightforward to use as standard Polylactic Acid (PLA), it offers comparable strength with greater rigidity than Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS).
Tough PLA can be combined with UltiMaker PVA and Breakaway support filaments.
- Greater ease of post-processing than standard PLA, enabling a wider range of finishing methods.
- Strength comparable to ABS, but with superior rigidity.
- No delamination or warping, allowing larger parts to be printed reliably.
- Compatible with PVA and Breakaway support materials for complete geometric freedom.

Applications of UltiMaker Tough PLA
Thanks to its properties, UltiMaker Tough PLA is an excellent solution for functional prototyping, 3D printing of various tooling, and manufacturing aids.
- Print durable filament parts
The impact resistance of Tough PLA is closer to that of ABS than standard PLA. This means your 3D printed parts can be used for more functional applications, such as jigs, fixtures, and tooling.
- Optimised for large printed parts
If you need strength in large models, Tough PLA is a reliable and easy-to-print material, ideal for S-series 3D Printers with large build volumes.
- Achieve complex geometries
Designs featuring intricate curves, fine details, and overhangs can be printed with ease using Tough PLA, particularly in combination with Breakaway supports or water-soluble PVA.
