PLA TOUGH

BEDROCK 3D PLA Tough is an extremely versatile, biocompatible, and biobased filament, designed specifically to meet the demands of professional users. It handles validated high printing speeds up to 300 mm/s effortlessly, requiring no hardware adjustments, while delivering an excellent surface finish and remarkable impact strength. Its low failure rate make it very suitable for cost-effective, and efficient production process.

PLA Tough is fully compatible with our water soluble BVOH support material. Enabling production of complex geometries.

The availability of large reels reduces filament reloads and allows printing of large single print volumes. Elevate your projects to professional standards with a filament that guarantees exceptional performance, consistency, and dependability.

Optionally, parts can be annealed to boost impact resistance (230%) and heat resistance (257%). This way performance generally associated with ABS is within reach.

  ** To achieve faster printing speeds, it may be necessary to raise the nozzle temperature. The highest speed mentioned has been determined through our latest tests, ensuring optimal surface quality with a 0.4mm nozzle and 0.2mm layer height. Please note that as printing technology and equipment evolve, we anticipate the possibility of achieving even faster speeds in the future.
