Eolas Prints PLA Ingeo 870 is a high-performance, high-impact PLA filament engineered for demanding applications. Based on NatureWorks Ingeo 870 resin, it combines the ease of printing of standard PLA with thermal resistance that rivals ABS — reaching over 85°C after a simple annealing process.

Key Properties

Heat deflection temperature (annealed)	85°C+ (after 15–20 min at 120°C)
Heat deflection temperature (unannealed)	~55°C
Impact resistance	High — significantly tougher than standard PLA
Density	1.24 g/cm³
Shrinkage (annealing)	~1–2% — design accordingly
Shrinkage (printing)	Low — excellent dimensional stability
Base resin	NatureWorks Ingeo 3D870
Eco-friendly	Derived from renewable resources (corn starch / sugarcane)
Diameter tolerance	±0.05 mm

Recommended Print Settings

Nozzle temperature	195–220°C
Bed temperature	0–50°C
Print speed	40–80 mm/s
Cooling fan	80–100% after first layer
Enclosure	Not required
Diameter tolerance	±0.05 mm

Annealing Process

Place finished prints on a flat surface in an oven at 120°C for 15–20 minutes. This controlled crystallisation raises the heat deflection temperature to over 85°C and increases impact resilience by approximately 15% compared to standard PLA. Allow to cool slowly inside the oven. Parts shrink approximately 1–2% during annealing — compensate by designing slightly oversized.

Recommended Applications

• Functional prototypes requiring heat resistance
• End-use parts exposed to elevated temperatures
• Mechanical components and fixtures
• Automotive interior parts
• Consumer products requiring durability and precision
