TPU

TPU filament is a flexible, rubber-like thermoplastic material designed for 3D printing applications that require elasticity, durability, and impact resistance. It combines the best properties of plastic and rubber, making it ideal for producing flexible and wear-resistant parts. TPU offers excellent layer adhesion, making it suitable for detailed and functional prints that require bending, stretching, and impact absorption.

Key Features:

• Highly Flexible & Elastic: Returns to its original shape after stretching or compression.
• Durable & Tear-Resistant: Withstands repeated use and mechanical stress.
• Impact & Shock Absorption: Ideal for cushioning applications.
• Good Chemical & Abrasion Resistance: Performs well in demanding environments.
• Strong Layer Adhesion: Ensures high-quality, reliable prints with minimal warping.

Recommended Applications:

• Wearables (watchbands, phone cases)
• Seals, gaskets, and dampeners
• Tires, wheels, and grips
• Flexible hinges and joints
• Shock-absorbing parts

Printing Guidelines:

• Extruder Temperature: 200-240°C
• Bed Temperature: 40-60°C (heated bed recommended)
• Printing Speed: 20-40 mm/s (slow speeds improve accuracy)
• Cooling Fan: On for better surface quality
• Direct Drive Extruder Recommended: Improves print consistency with flexible materials

TPU filament is the perfect choice for engineers, designers, and makers who need strong, flexible, and impact-resistant 3D printed parts with exceptional durability and elasticity.
