Our Tough Pro PLA+ is the best PLA filament for 3D printing your most demanding projects. When you're looking for a tough PLA with excellent temperature resistance that prints as smooth as butter, 3D-Fuel Tough Pro PLA+ is the material for you.
Manufactured in the US from genuine NatureWorks™ 3D870 Ingeo PLA, Tough Pro PLA+ offers a third-generation level of material engineering for 3D printing. Since it's a NatureWorks PLA material, it's a sustainably sourced bio-plastic with an incredible eco-profile.
Tough Pro PLA+ Boasts 8.8x The Impact Toughness Of PLA+
Test parts were 3D printed on a Bambu Lab X1C at 0.2mm layer height with no annealing. A 1kg standard weight was used for the drop test. The video plays at 12.5% of real-time speed.
Tough Pro PLA+ has higher impact strength than ABS and Standard PLA+ with a heat resistance that rivals that of ABS. That's even before any post-processing.
Tough Pro PLA+ was designed with the high impact strength needed in industrial applications to meet the growing demand for a material with the properties of ABS and the printability of PLA.
Heat Resistance Comparison
You can anneal your design after 3D printing for even better heat resistance and impact toughness. While annealing causes a slight 1-2% shrink, Tough Pro PLA+ provides industry-leading stability even in non-annealed states, making it ideal for high-heat environments like automotive interiors.

Filament Quality:
All 3D-Fuel 3D printer filament is manufactured in the United States. We maintain exceptional control over the manufacturing process to ensure consistent quality for every spool. Learn more about our quality standards.
Diameter Tolerance:
Our filament diameter tolerance is +/- 0.02 mm. We use a multi-axis laser measurement system to control our filament diameter and ovality in real time during production to prevent extrusion failures.
Packing Information:
A full 1kg (2.2lbs) of Tough Pro PLA+ arrives on a plastic AMS-compatible spool and is vacuum sealed with a desiccant packet to protect against moisture.
Test Printing:
The 3D-Fuel test lab features multiple brands of 3D printers including Bambu Lab, Raise3D, MakerBot, LulzBot, Prusa, Creality, and more. We print what we manufacture to ensure professional results.
