Performance ratings are intended as a general comparison guide. Refer to the Technical Data Sheet (TDS) for detailed specifications and certified values.
UltiMaker CPE+ 1.75mm Filament (Engineering) is a high-performance co-polyester filament designed for durable functional parts and demanding engineering applications. It offers excellent chemical resistance, toughness, dimensional stability, and improved temperature resistance compared to standard CPE. With low moisture absorption and strong layer adhesion, CPE+ is ideal for creating reliable prototypes, mechanical components, and end-use parts that require long-term durability.
Applications
- Functional prototypes
- Mechanical components
- Industrial fixtures and jigs
- Chemical-resistant parts
- Laboratory equipment components
- Protective housings and enclosures
- Automotive components
- Manufacturing aids
- Snap-fit assemblies
- Robotics parts
- Replacement components
- End-use parts requiring durability and chemical resistance

Notes
Shop3D.ca Notes
CPE+ is a straight upgrade to CPE, but requires a little bit more tuning and specific settings to print well. It provides good layer adhesion and a higher glass temp so if you need to print parts that are chemical resistant, or watertight, this is your best bet! In general, CPE+ is a well rounded material with good print characteristics, strength, and mechanical properties.
CPE+ is a little bit more challenging to print than PLA, but not as difficult as Nylon. It doesn't warp as much and doesn't have moisture issues. Compared to regular CPE, the glass temp is much higher so there is much higher tolerance for temperature deformations.
We recommend CPE+ for people who are looking at a general engineering material. CPE if you want color options.
