Medical and biocompatible filaments

Ultrafuse® PLA ToughUltrafuse® PLA Tough is a highly versatile, biocompatible, and biobased material specially developed for the needs of professional users. It effortlessly accommodates validated high print speeds up to 300mm/s1, without the need for any hardware adjustment while offering exceptional surface finish and impressive impact strength. Moreover, it boasts a notably high success rate for large print jobs, ensuring a straightforward and cost-effective printing process.720% tougher than standard PLAUltrafuse® PLA Tough can be an alternative to ABS as it is more sustainable, tough, and easy to print. As it is compatible with water-soluble BVOH support material, this biocompatible material which exhibits impressive impact strength – 720% higher than standard PLA – is the perfect solution for printing complex geometries for demanding high-volume applications.Furthermore, Ultrafuse® PLA Tough parts can be enhanced by annealing the part in a separate process step, which can increase toughness by up to 230% and its heat resistance by 257%.Example ApplicationsJigs & fixturesOrthotics and ProsthesesFunctional PrototypingWith Ultrafuse® PLA Tough Filament, you can achieve sustainable, cost- and time-saving production of large components at rapid speeds while maintaining impeccable surface quality. Elevate your designs and projects to PRO levels with a filament that guarantees outstanding performance, reliability, and consistency.Material PropertiesTensile strength (MPa): 40 (xy), 28 (zx)Young´s modulus (MPa): 2672 (xy), 2576 (zx)Elongation at break (%): 7.4 (xy), 2.2 (zx)Impact Strength (kJ/m2): 33 (xy), 34 (xz), 10 (zx)Heat Resistance when Annealed (°C): 157 Vicat 10N, 94 HDT B 0.45MPaPrinting GuidelinesNozzle Temperature: 200-220 °CBed Temperature: 50 - 70 °CBed Material: GlassNozzle Diameter: ≥ 0.4 mmPrint Speed: 40 -3001 mm /s1. Fast printing might require an additional increase in nozzle temperature; the stated print speed of 300 mm/s is based on current validations. As equipment and technology continues to evolve, it is possible that even higher print speeds may be attainable in the future.
