1. Ultimaker Filament
The Ultimaker PLA filament was obtained from biodegradable raw materials. In addition, the material specially developed for the Ultimaker devices can be printed easily and reliably. At the same time that the filament was launched, Ultimaker released a new Cura version, which provides its own material profiles for various requirements. The Ultimaker PLA can also be easily processed by other FDM printers. In addition, the PLA filament harmonizes perfectly with the Ultimaker PVA material. PVA is a water-soluble support material that can be completely removed after printing in a water bath. This combination allows you to design and print your 3D model without geometric constraints.
Pro
- easy to process
- Holds well on glass plate
- Never gets stuck

2. Ultimaker Tpu 95a
The original TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) filament from Ultimaker has been specifically designed for your Ultimaker 2, Ultimaker 2+, Ultimaker 2 Extended, Ultimaker 2 Extended +, and of course, for all Ultimaker Classic models. This tear-resistant TPU filament has a Shore hardness of 95 and is stretchable by 580%. The filament is particularly suitable for manufacturing projects that require the quality and properties of rubber and plastic. This semi-flexible and chemical-resistant filament features strong layer adhesion. Additionally, it is easier and faster to print than conventional TPU filaments. Ultimaker has also released a new version of Cura alongside this filament, which provides Ultimaker material profiles for various requirements. Naturally, you can also easily process Ultimaker PLA with other FDM printers.

3. Ultimaker Pva
The new Ultimaker PVA material is a water-soluble filament specifically designed as support material for the Ultimaker 3. PVA is used exclusively as support material, which completely disappears after the printing process once it has spent some time in a water bath. Consequently, the filament can only be used with dual extruder FDM printers. The great advantage of PVA is that a designer does not have to consider geometric limitations when creating a 3D model. The material works excellently with Ultimaker PLA and nylon filaments. In Cura, there are specific material profiles for these combinations. In our opinion, the Ultimaker 3 is currently the best option in desktop FDM printing for producing highly complex 3D models.
Pro
- Good quality
- Easily separable
- Well packaged

5. Ultimaker Tough PLA Grey 2.85 mm 750 g
Ultimaker Tough PLA is a technical PLA (polylactic acid) material with a toughness similar to ABS. It is ideal for printing functional prototypes and tools in larger formats—without the risk of warping or delamination. Ultimaker Tough PLA allows for the same safe and easy use as regular PLA.
Ultimaker Tough PLA filament is designed to be an easy-to-use technical plastic:
- Better machinability than PLA allows for more post-processing techniques
- Similar strength and higher stiffness compared to ABS
- No delamination or warping for reliable printing of larger parts
- Compatible with PVA and breakaway support materials for full geometric freedom
Create robust plastic parts. The impact resistance of Tough PLA is closer to ABS than to regular PLA. This means that your 3D-printed parts can be used for more functional applications such as fixtures, manufacturing aids, and tools.
Optimized for large prints. If you need toughness for large models, Tough PLA is an easy-to-print and reliable material—ideal for 3D printing with the larger build volume of the Ultimaker S5.
Realize complex geometries. Designs with intricate curves, fine details, and overhangs can be easily printed with Tough PLA, especially in combination with breakaway or water-soluble PVA support material.

6. Ultimaker Filament (Polycarbonate)
With the Ultimaker PC (Polycarbonate) filament, strong and durable parts can be created that remain shape-stable even at temperatures of 110 °C. The filament is particularly suitable for manufacturing tools, functional prototypes, and small batch parts. The concurrently released Cura version provides useful material profiles, allowing complex models to be printed easily and reliably.

7. Ultimaker Nylon Transparent 2.85 mm 750 g
Ultimaker Nylon is a type of polyamide based on PA6/66. It is characterized by lower moisture absorption and greater durability compared to other nylon filaments. The nylon material can withstand significant mechanical stress and is excellent for 3D-printed tools, functional prototypes, and functional parts. Ultimaker Nylon filament has been tested for thousands of hours and works seamlessly with Ultimaker 3D printers. It is impact and abrasion resistant, has a low coefficient of friction, and is corrosion resistant to alkalis and organic chemicals. Dual extrusion printing with PVA or Breakaway is possible.
The Ultimaker Nylon material has been designed to better withstand environmental moisture than other nylon filaments on the market. It is exceptionally durable and robust, making it the ideal filament choice for producing functional parts. Ultimaker Nylon is a reliable 3D printing filament that meets numerous mechanical requirements for engineers, designers, and manufacturers.

8. Ultimaker Filament 1643 CPE+ chemically treated
The Ultimaker CPE+ filament is very suitable for the production of prototypes and mechanical components. The material was specially developed for the Ultimaker 3D printers. It is characterised among other things by its strength and odour neutrality. The simultaneously published Cura version provides meaningful material profiles, whereby even complex models can be printed easily and reliably. Despite its compatibility with Ultimaker devices, the CPE+ material can also be used by other FDM printers. The CPE+ filament has an even higher temperature resistance and impact strength than the CPE material.

9. Ultimaker PET CF Blau 2.85 mm 750 g

10. Ultimaker 3 Breakaway
Ultimaker Breakaway is a support material for 3D printing using the multi-layer extrusion process. Breakaway supports can be quickly removed and do not require further processing. They provide a smooth surface finish to your 3D print. Breakaway is designed for an optimal 3D printing experience and ensures good adhesion to most materials in the Ultimaker range, including ABS, Nylon, PLA, CPE, and CPE+.
It offers good adhesion to a variety of materials, is stable yet sufficiently soft and malleable to be removed from the model. Additionally, it has a longer shelf life and is less susceptible to moisture than water-soluble support materials.
