Available materials
PLA
PLA (polylactic acid) is versatile, easy to 3D print, and available in 11 colors.
Tough PLA
UltiMaker Tough PLA for S series is a technical PLA (polylactic acid) material with a toughness similar to ABS.
PETG
Properties including good printability, toughness, chemical resistance, wear resistance, and temperature resistance make UltiMaker PETG suitable for a wide range of applications.
ABS
UltiMaker ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) 3D printing material is formulated to minimize warping and ensure consistent interlayer adhesion.
PET CF
Use UltiMaker PET CF to create high-performance applications, from functional prototypes to manufacturing aids and replacement parts.
PET CF (annealed)
For UltiMaker PET CF, annealing will improve its mechanical properties and most importantly its heat resistance from 80 °C to 180 °C.
Nylon
S series Nylon is a polyamide grade based on PA6/66. It features reduced humidity absorption and a longer shelf life compared to other nylon filaments.
CPE
UltiMaker CPE (co-polyester) material is an ideal choice for 3D printing functional prototypes and mechanical parts.
CPE+
UltiMaker CPE+ material is chemical resistant with high dimensional stability, with the added advantages of increased temperature resistance and higher impact strength compared to regular CPE.
PC
PC (polycarbonate) material, print parts that are tough, strong, and retain dimensional stability when subjected to temperatures as high as 110 ºC.
PP
UltiMaker PP (polypropylene) for S series is a durable, chemical resistant material. It is fatigue resistant, tough, and has a low-friction co-efficient.
TPU 95A
UltiMaker TPU 95A (thermoplastic polyurethane) is a flexible material, making it ideal for applications that demand chemical resistance and the qualities of rubber and plastic.
