Tough Pro PLA+ is our premier filament for industrial applications and demanding functional projects. When you need extreme impact resistance and thermal stability combined with "smooth as butter" printability, Tough Pro PLA+ is the professional choice.
Manufactured in the USA from genuine NatureWorks™ 3D870 Ingeo PLA, this third-generation material offers superior engineering properties. As a sustainably sourced bio-plastic, it provides a high-performance solution with an excellent eco-profile.
8.8x the Impact Toughness of Standard PLA+
Testing conducted on a Bambu Lab X1C (0.2mm layer height, no annealing). 1kg standard weight drop test shown at 12.5% speed.
Tough Pro PLA+ outperforms both ABS and Standard PLA+ in impact strength while offering heat resistance that rivals ABS—even before post-processing. It was specifically designed to meet the industrial demand for a material with ABS-like durability and PLA-like ease of use.
Heat Resistance Comparison
For maximum performance, you can anneal your prints to further increase toughness and heat deflection. However, even without annealing, Tough Pro PLA+ resists deformation in high-heat environments (like a hot car interior) far better than standard PLA.
