Ultrafuse PLA from Forward AM is a polylactic acid (PLA) filament designed to deliver easy, reliable 3D printing with outstanding results. It is part of the Ultrafuse range for FFF/FDM 3D printing, known for its industrial consistency and high performance in professional, educational, and prototyping applications.

Ultrafuse PLA is a biodegradable polymer with a low melting point, making it easy to print, stable, and capable of producing excellent surface quality. It is available in a wide range of colors and stands out for its glossy finish, ideal for display models, decorative parts, and low-cost functional prototypes.

Manufactured using high-quality raw materials, it is produced with computer-controlled machinery, ensuring exceptional consistency across colors and batches. This guarantees a repeatable, reliable printing experience with a high success rate.

Advantages of Ultrafuse PLA

Wide color range for creative and technical applications
Easy to print even on desktop 3D printers
High success rate in FFF/FDM printing
Excellent repeatability between batches
Very low warping (almost no deformation)
Relatively low printing temperature
Glossy and aesthetically pleasing surface finish
Raw material suitable for food contact according to European regulations

Sustainable and versatile material

PLA is one of the most widely used materials in 3D printing thanks to its partially bio-based origin, derived from renewable resources such as corn or sugarcane. Its ease of printing and low shrinkage make it an ideal choice for rapid prototyping, education, and home use.

When printed with proper cooling, it enables sharp edges, high aesthetic quality, and good dimensional stability.

Applications of Ultrafuse PLA

Rapid design prototypes
Automotive parts and assembly validation
Educational and training tools
Packaging and display models
Custom and lifestyle products

3D printing success stories

Low-cost 3D prosthetics – Victoria Hand Project

Ultrafuse PLA filament has been used in the development of functional prosthetics within the Victoria Hand Project. Through additive manufacturing, 3D scanning, and digital design, customized low-cost hand prosthetics have been created for people with amputations in developing countries.

This project demonstrates how PLA-based 3D printing enables the production of affordable, functional, and personalized medical devices, improving users’ quality of life.

Custom orthotics in the medical sector

In collaboration with solutions such as Spentys, Ultrafuse PLA is also used to manufacture custom orthotics through 3D printing. These solutions enable lighter, more comfortable, and more breathable devices compared to traditional methods.

The digitalization of the medical process allows for greater production speed, customization, and patient comfort.

Ultrafuse PLA filament should be stored at 15-25°C in a clean and dry environment in order to protect the material from humidity, and ensure its longevity and successful prints. Ideally, it should be stored in its originally sealed package. If that’s not possible, a vacuum sealed bag with a filament drying capsule inside the spool is an equally good solution. The Ultrafuse PLA can also be stored in an intelligent filament container before and after printing, and in a filament drying device during printing.

The BASF Ultrafuse PLA filament should be extruded at a temperature of 210-230 ºC and a speed of 40-80 mm/s, on a bed (preferably glass) heated to 50-70 ºC. A heated chamber is not required with this material. In order to boost adhesion of the part to the printing bed 3DLac Stick or Magigoo can be used.
