Ultrafuse PLA PRO1 is a bio-based engineering filament developed by Forward AM, positioned as a technical PLA for professionals who require speed, mechanical strength and surface quality at the same time. Its formulation prints as easily as a standard PLA but allows print speeds previously reserved for so-called "high-speed" profiles, while offering mechanical properties superior to those of printed ABS.
By adjusting the print parameters, the user can orient the profile towards pure speed, surface finish, mechanical strength, or a compromise between these three axes. Production quality control guarantees controlled consistency between colours and between batches, a point sought in multi-machine series production. Several colours and several diameters are offered in the range.
Printing behaviour
The filament prints at a nozzle temperature of 200-220 °C on a heated bed between 50 and 70 °C, with an extremely wide speed range from 40 to 300 mm/s. To exploit the highest speeds, it may be necessary to raise the nozzle temperature to around 220-230 °C; at very high speed, the surface finish may be slightly degraded.
Its very good interlayer adhesion increases the final strength of the parts and their functionality. The filament can be deposited directly on glass or low-temperature tape, without the need for a closed enclosure. The material is biocompatible (Forward AM documentation available) and offers biocompatibility that is useful in certain regulated applications.
Applications and documents
The target applications documented by the manufacturer cover workshop jigs and fixtures as well as functional prototyping. Technical data sheet (TDS), safety data sheet (MSDS) and dedicated print profiles (Ultimaker, Prusa, BigRep, Bambu Lab, Raise3D, BCN3D) available from Forward AM and the distributor, for integration into HSE procedures and the workshop risk assessment document.
