Engineered for your most demanding projects, 3D-Fuel Tough Pro PLA+ delivers industrial-grade impact resistance and high thermal stability without sacrificing the smooth printability of standard PLA. Made in the USA from genuine NatureWorks™ 3D870 Ingeo PLA, this sustainably sourced bioplastic offers next-generation strength—boasting up to 8.8x the impact toughness of standard PLA+ and outperforming ABS in high-stress applications.
Whether you are printing functional mechanical prototypes, end-use industrial parts, or high-durability gear, Tough Pro PLA+ handles high-speed printing up to 250 mm/s. It features exceptional heat resistance right off the build plate, with optional heat annealing capabilities to unlock even higher thermal deflection performance.
Unannealed drop-test comparison: 1kg weight drop on test parts printed at 0.2mm layer height.
Key Features & Performance Highlights
Superior Impact Resistance: Up to 8.8 times tougher than standard PLA+, outperforming ABS in drop-impact strength without brittle fractures.
Enhanced Thermal Stability: Resists heat deflection far better than standard PLA out of the box, making it suitable for automotive and high-temp environments.
Optionally Annealable: Can be post-processed via heat annealing to maximize heat deflection and structural rigidity.
AMS-Compatible Spool: Wound on an easy-to-use spool designed for smooth feeding in multi-material systems like the Bambu Lab AMS.
Made in the USA: Produced with real-time multi-axis laser measurement systems to ensure extreme dimensional accuracy (+/- 0.02 mm).
