About our PLA PRO (TOUGH)
Our tough PLA is based on unique polymer building block configuration research and engineered for strength and durability!
![]() |
Manufactured in our Mississauga, Ontario facility using premium quality materials and extrusion equipment. Consistent diameter monitoring using multi axis laser micrometers. Every batch is traceable and tested for quality assurance. |
1.5 X Higher Impact Strength than ABS!
8.8 X Higher Impact Strength than standard PLA!
An additive free tough PLA with high impact resistance specifically developed for the manufacturing of 3D filaments and engineered to offer a non-toxic alternative to styrene based material such as ABS. Our PLA PRO retains the ease of printing of regular PLA whilst being suitable for functional applications beyond prototyping. Produces strong, accurate, clean, reliable and repeatable results. Clean extrusion and storage environments. +/- 0.02mm or less average diameter variation & roundness.
Create tough plastic parts for functional applications, such as jigs, fixtures, and tools.
Features and Advantages:
- Exhibits significantly higher impact strength than ABS, even before any post processing or annealing.
- Great alternative to styrenic-based materials
- Prints as easy as regular PLA
- UV Resistant for outdoor use
- Lower gloss compared to standard PLA
- Non-toxic bio-based material
- Annealable for higher heat and impact resistance
- Smoother flow and easier extrusion
- Low warping and curling, suitable for large parts
- High detail printing
- Improved overhang performance
- Greater machinability than standard PLA allows more post-processing techniques
- Compatible with water soluble PVA and Breakaway support materials
We use a multi-axis laser measurement system to control our filament diameter and ovality in real-time during production.

Annealing Information: | |
Anneal - to heat and then cool in order to make the material stronger and more heat resistant. Annealing (Heat Treating) Instructions To get the maximum strength and higher heat resistance out of your 3D printed part, you may post- anneal (after the item is printed), a procedure that can be done in your oven at a range of 176-266F (80 - 130C) to promote increased crystallization and further improve the heat deflection temperature. Annealing works best for parts printed with 100% infill using the LINES infill pattern (Other infill patterns may leave small voids inside the part. It is also recommended to remove prints, blobs and strings from the print before proceeding to anneal. For best results:
Shrinkage and/or warping may occur. The degree of shrinkage/warping depends heavily on the part geometry. Items with extended sections can also be subject to some movement during this process. Only testing will show how any particular print will hold up. Some customers have tested a water bath annealing process using a sous vide cooker. This can ensure a more even distribution of heat but we recommend annealing for 60 minutes to ensure complete heat penetration. Results: Following this procedure will provide a stronger and more temperature resistant part. This will allow you to reach the full potential of the filament and printing process for your part. |
