UltiMaker Tough Filament-Orange

The MakerBot Tough Filament can withstand a severe impact-load better than PLA and you will experience longer plastic deformation under a severe tensile load, whereas PLA will snap. The MakerBot Tough Filament responds well to sanding, thread-tapping and post-processing, it also offers greater tensile elongation than PLA under a tensile load. This filament is also suitable for printing jigs and fixtures with threaded and snap fits that can withstand repeated use.

Tensile Strength Similar to ABS
Under a tensile load, MakerBot Tough Filament will deform elastically and return to its original shape before hitting peak strength. Beyond this peak, MakerBot Tough Filament will exhibit a very long plastic deformation range before break that outperforms ABS. In contrast, PLA will simply fracture.

• - 2X the impact strength of ABS for high durability prototypes
• - ideal for working prototypes and manufacuring aids
• - significantly less warping and curling than ABS without the need for heated build plates
• - highly machinable for a wide range of post-processing techniques
• - more office friendly than ABS
