Method Tough PLA – Safety Orange 750g Makerbot Industries

This is the material for the Method 3D printer from Makerbot Industries, it has been designed and tested to work perfectly with Makerbot’s industrial grade printer. Shipped in a vacuum-sealed metalized polyester bag, quality is preserved right up until opening.

The Smart Spool contains all the information that the printer needs, including material type, color, and amount remaining via an RFID chip. This is communicated directly to MakerBot Print, while a built-in desiccant absorbs any moisture exposure during the material loading process, ensuring your material stays fresher longer. 

Tough Precision Model Material is a thermoplastic engineered for durable, strong, and dimensionally accurate 3D printed prototypes and fixtures. With up to 2X the impact-strength of ABS and similar tensile and flexural strength properties, MakerBot Tough Material gives you high durability and toughness.
