PLA Pro Dark Gray NextShapes Filament
NextShapes PLA Pro Filament – High-strength, high-speed filament for precise 3D prints
NextShapes PLA Pro was developed for users who expect more performance than conventional PLA. It combines high strength, excellent impact resistance, and high printing speed in one material and is suitable for both functional components and high-quality models.
Thanks to its optimized material formula, even complex prints with a clean surface, high dimensional accuracy, and minimal warping can be achieved. The filament is easy to print and compatible with most FDM 3D printers.
Advantages at a glance
High-speed PLA Pro for fast printing times
High strength and improved impact resistance
Matte, high-quality surfaces
High dimensional accuracy of 1.75 mm ± 0.02 mm
Clean winding for trouble-free material feed
Low shrinkage and high dimensional stability
Suitable for almost all FDM 3D printers
Ideal for
PLA Pro is ideally suited for:
Functional parts
Prototypes
Mechanical components
Housing
Model making
RC models
Workshop and fixture construction
decorative objects
spare parts
Due to its high impact resistance, PLA Pro is particularly suitable for components that are subjected to greater stress in everyday use than ordinary PLA prints.

Low shrinkage for precise printing results
Clean winding – Reliable printing results
Each filament spool is wound precisely and evenly. This ensures smooth material feed and reduces the risk of tangling or print interruptions.
High print quality
The tight manufacturing tolerance of ±0.02 mm ensures:
consistent material flow
constant extrusion
precise details
smooth surfaces
Reliable printing results even with long print jobs.
High strength for functional components
Compared to standard PLA, PLA Pro offers significantly higher toughness and impact resistance. The material is more resistant to breakage and is therefore particularly suitable for functional applications and mechanically stressed components.
