IMPACT PLA

Resistance and precision

IMPACT PLA offers properties that are similar or better than those of ABS filaments while keeping the ease and security of the printing process typical of traditional PLA. This technical filament ensures increased resistance to cracking and breaking due to its high impact strength and a higher resistance to high temperatures. With these properties, IMPACT PLA is ideal for creating demanding prints working in extreme conditions while maintaining the highest level of attention to detail.

IMPACT PLA is a tried and tested filament for printing functional prototypes and large heavy-duty tools.

APPLICATION:

  • TOYS OR THEIR ELEMENTS: blocks, works or parts thereof, car parts
  • PROTOTYPES: tools, conceptual models, switching parts, mechanical parts, elements requiring resistance to higher temperatures
  • SPARE PARTS: elements of machines, devices, vehicles, electronic equipment
  • TOOLS OR THEIR ELEMENTS: gears, racks, elements requiring high strength
  • READY PRODUCTS: containers, handles
  • TOYS OR THEIR ELEMENTS: blocks, robots or their parts, car parts

Top-Quality Raw Materials

NatureWorks is an American company and one of the largest and most renowned producers of biopolymers in the world, primarily known for polylactic acid (PLA). Their flagship product, Ingeo™ PLA, is made from renewable plant-based resources such as corn starch. This polymer stands out for its consistent composition, low impurity levels, and excellent control over physicochemical parameters, which guarantees the quality of the final product – 3D printing filament. NatureWorks PLA is highly stable during processing: it doesn’t clog nozzles, has a consistent melting point, and is minimally prone to warping. This makes it an ideal material for both beginners and advanced users.
