Tough PLA BCN3D Filaments
Impact resistant / Stiff / Easy to print
40,00€
Overview
Tough PLA (Polylactic Acid) is engineered for its high impact resistance and strength, similar to those of ABS, in combination with the stiffness of PLA. This 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 an easy to print material with a very good surface quality.

-
Ideal for manufacturing stiff parts
Tough PLA is 50% stiffer than ABS, and has the right balance of toughness and stiffness.
-
A good balance between temperature resistance and toughness
Thanks to its toughness, Tough PLA becomes the ideal material for indestructible end-use parts, while counting on a lower heat resistance than PET-G.

Post-processing tooling
Tooling designed to make holes at 120º of separation in injected parts. After manufacturing the parts without the holes in order to simplify the molds and save costs, this tooling allows for easier post-processing of the final part.
-
Customized tooling
Large-size tooling customized to fit a specific large aluminum profile. The tooling adapts to the machinery and fixes the metalic profile for more convenient post-processing.
-
Positioning tooling
Tooling used in the BCN3D production line to ensure the correct positioning of the LEDs during the assembly process. The color is used as a visual code to determine whether it is for one product or another.
