TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) Filament - Shore Hardness 90A
TPU is a cutting-edge flexible filament, often mistaken for its predecessor, TPE. However, TPU offers distinct advantages, including higher abrasion resistance, greater chemical resistance, and significantly lower shrinkage, making it ideal for a broad range of applications.
Key Features
- Advanced Flexibility and Durability: TPU produces rubbery, elastic parts with excellent layer adhesion. The flexibility of your printed object can be fine-tuned by adjusting the infill density—the lower the infill, the more stretchable and flexible the final product will be. TPU offers flexibility that materials like PLA and ABS simply cannot match.
- Industrial Applications: Thanks to its resistance to grease, oil, and solvents, TPU is perfect for industrial applications, including medical devices, power tools, automotive components, caster wheels, footwear, inflatable rafts, and mobile phone cases.
- Precision and Stability: TPU exhibits considerably lower shrinkage than TPE, ensuring accurate measurements post-printing. It also retains its elastic properties at lower temperatures and supports higher print resolution, making it particularly suitable for mechanical parts.
- UV Resistance: TPU is UV resistant, which enhances its durability in outdoor applications.
- Dual-Head Printing Compatibility: TPU works exceptionally well with dual-extruder printers, where it can be used in combination with rigid materials to create soft, flexible surfaces over a solid base.
TPU is a versatile, multi-use filament that excels in creating durable, stretchable parts with precise dimensions, making it a superior choice for both industrial and creative applications.
