Polymaker PolyLite PLA Pro Filament

PolyLite™ PLA Pro is the first of its kind—combining exceptional toughness with high rigidity. This professional-grade PLA delivers engineering-level performance while maintaining the easy printability of standard PLA.

What’s the Difference Between PolyLite™ PLA, PolyMax™ PLA, and PolyLite™ PLA Pro?

Short Answer:

PolyLite™ PLA – A very rigid material with low impact resistance.

PolyMax™ PLA – Highly ductile with excellent impact resistance and durability.

PolyLite™ PLA Pro – Combines the best of both worlds: strong rigidity with high impact strength.

Long Answer:

PolyLite™ PLA is ideal for prints that require dimensional accuracy and stiffness, but it lacks toughness and can be brittle under stress.

PolyMax™ PLA is designed for functional parts that need to endure stress, bending, and dropping—it’s extremely tough but less rigid.

PolyLite™ PLA Pro bridges the gap by offering both excellent stiffness and strong impact resistance, making it suitable for engineering-grade applications without sacrificing printability.
