Ask about this product

The PLA HR-870 is a high-performance PLA filament for 3D printing developed by Sakata 3D Filaments using the renowned PLA Ingeo 3D870 resin from NatureWorks, a global leader in advanced biopolymers. This biodegradable material has been specifically designed for technical and industrial applications that require high mechanical strength, thermal stability, and dimensional accuracy, while preserving the ease of printing typical of PLA.

Mechanical and thermal performance beyond conventional PLA

The PLA HR-870 filament delivers mechanical and thermal properties superior to standard PLA, placing it on par with technical materials such as ABS, but without its drawbacks. It stands out for its high impact resistance, structural rigidity, and deformation stability, enabling clean, precise 3D printing without the emission of toxic fumes, making it a safe and advanced technical alternative.

High-temperature PLA with post-processing capability

One of the key advantages of PLA HR-870 for professional 3D printing is the ability to significantly enhance its properties through thermal post-processing by crystallization. This process allows printed parts to reach a softening temperature of up to 85 °C, far exceeding that of conventional PLA. In addition, impact resistance increases substantially, becoming up to five times higher than ABS, making it ideal for functional parts and end-use applications.

Ease of printing and excellent heated bed performance

The PLA HR-870 maintains exceptional printability, a key factor in professional and production environments. A heated bed is not strictly required, although a temperature between 40 °C and 60 °C is recommended to optimize adhesion and surface finish. This versatility allows it to be used on both advanced desktop 3D printers and industrial systems, ensuring consistent and repeatable results.

Industrial applications and high-quality finishes

Thanks to its combination of mechanical strength, thermal stability, and ease of printing, PLA HR-870 filament is ideal for the manufacture of technical parts, functional components, jigs, housings, and demanding industrial applications. It is available in multiple high-gloss colors, with excellent opacity and a professional finish, making it suitable for visible parts and final products.

Technical PLA filament manufactured in Spain with industrial quality

The PLA HR-870 is a 3D printing filament manufactured entirely in Spain, under strict quality controls that ensure stable diameter, precise tolerances, and consistent performance. It represents an advanced solution for users seeking a high-performance PLA with enhanced mechanical and thermal properties, comparable to ABS, without harmful emissions and with superior performance in professional technical applications.

3D printing with HR-PLA 3D870 is simpler and easier than with ABS. It is not necessary that the printer dock is hot, but if possible it is recommended that the base is approximately 50-60 ºC, to prevent any small sign of "warping" appears. The extruder temperature must be between 190 and 220 ºC depending on the colour and 3D printer used. If your printer has a fan nozzle is recommended that you enable it for best results In the article from our blog of 3D printing is explained about the main doubts of 3D printing with PLA and ABS.

If you need to print very thin and tall pieces, you will see that the PLA plastic does not give you enough time to harden each layer, so that the piece will be as if it had melted. To solve this problem we give a very simple advice, printed at the same time at least 2 pieces, and place them in separate base. So while the extruder is moved from one piece to another, the plastic has time to harden each layer in achieving a better result.

The adhesion of the first layer is key and probably the most important factors for goods prints. So you can use Magigoo, Blue Tape, BuildTak or 3DLac.

It is also advisable to set the "raft" which is to create a first thick layer, and supports that will not suffer that contraction and on which is printed the piece. The disadvantage of using the "raft" is that this first layer will have a less smooth.
It is advisable to lower the density of "infill" parameter for the part to store less heat. As for the "brim" (the membrane that is created around the part) parameter is recommended never fit in greater thicknesses of 5mm to help the first layer does not come off.

As for the interior temperature where printed is recommended to be controlled and no drafts.

TEMPERED:

The tempering or rather, the crystallization process, is necessary to organize in an organized way the structure of the PLA 3D870 and achieve the maximum properties that this material can offer. The process is very simple, you only need a domestic oven (always preheated to the necessary temperature before introducing the piece), in which we are going to introduce the piece, which must remain attached to the base so that it does not deform. The piece should be as centered as possible in the oven compartment, so that the temperature is uniform throughout the piece, and without activating the fan. The ideal temperature for the process is 60ºC for 40-50 minutes for pieces with dimensions greater than 10x10x10 cm and for smaller pieces the time needed is less, about 20 minutes. After the indicated time, the oven is turned off and the door is opened to allow the piece to cool down little by little until it is completely cold. You must avoid touching the piece before it is completely cold, otherwise the piece will be permanently deformed.
