Polymaker PolyMax PLA Filament

PolyMax™ PLA is a premium 3D printing filament known for its ease of use and enhanced mechanical performance. It serves as an excellent alternative to ABS, offering greater strength, durability, and impact resistance—without the common issues like warping. Perfect for both prototypes and functional parts, PolyMax™ PLA delivers consistent results with a high-quality surface finish.

What sets PolyMax™ PLA apart from standard PLA?
PolyMax™ PLA is engineered with nano-reinforcement technology, which dramatically enhances its ductility—that is, its ability to bend or deform under stress without breaking.

In simpler terms, while regular PLA can be brittle and prone to snapping, PolyMax™ PLA is tough and flexible, making it much more resistant to fractures. This unique property ensures your prints can withstand more stress and impact, making it ideal for functional parts and demanding applications.

What is the heat resistance of PolyMax™ PLA?

PolyMax™ PLA is a PLA-based material and offers a heat resistance similar to standard PLA, with a glass transition temperature around 60°C.

If you need greater heat resistance while maintaining easy printability, we recommend PolyMax™ PETG, which offers a higher heat resistance of approximately 80°C.
