TOUGH PLA is engineered for its high impact and strength like an ABS and the stiffness of a PLA. The material shows excellent results in layer adhesion and is the perfect match for tooling or manufacturing aids where a high impact is needed. Tough PLA is a plug & play material and printable on a wide range of temperatures.
