BASF Ultrafuse® PLA PRO1

Ultrafuse® PLA PRO1 is developed as a high-speed engineering thermoplastic that prints as easy as PLA, at speeds previously considered unusable. Yet it retains far better mechanical properties, that even exceed printed ABS objects. Something that the most demanding users have always had to make a compromise on prior to Ultrafuse® PLA PRO1.

By varying the print settings, users can optimize for speed, strength, surface quality or a mix of those qualities beyond performance levels of traditional filaments. When you find yourself in an environment that requires reliable performance print after print, look no further than to increase your productivity with Ultrafuse® PLA PRO1. By cranking up the speed you can save at least 30%* in printing time. To achieve this high speed, we recommend setting your printer in the tem- perature range of 220°C to 230°C*. Superfast printing may affect surface quality. Ultrafuse® PLA PRO1 has strong layer adhesion which makes prints much stronger, thus increasing functionality.

* Results may differ, depending on the type and configuration of the 3D-printer

Benefits: 

• Speed: Reduce your printing time by 30% – 80%, (subject to printer/ object limitations)
• Strength: Excels overall beyond printed ABS in mechanical properties
• Versatility: One filament that can be tuned towards blazing speed and excellent surface finish
• Consistency: Truly consistent filament, also between colors and batches, it will perform as expected, every time
• Biocompatibility
