Tough PLA: common questions
What is Tough PLA good for?
Tough PLA is a common choice for functional parts, jigs & fixtures, tool handles. PLA engineered for impact resistance, bridging the gap between PLA and ABS.
How strong and heat-resistant is Tough PLA?
Printed Tough PLA parts have a typical tensile strength of 45–55 MPa and heat resistance of ~60 °C. These are typical values for printed parts in the XY direction; strength between layers is lower, so orientation matters for loaded parts.
How big a part can you print in Tough PLA, and how fast?
Up to 350 × 320 × 325 mm in one piece; larger parts are printed in sections and joined, after a review. Production takes 2-5 business days, and rush service is available.
