TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is a flexible, durable, and versatile material commonly used in 3D printing. Here are some key points about TPU:
1. TPU is known for its flexibility and elasticity. It can stretch and bend without breaking, making it ideal for applications requiring rubber-like properties.
2. TPU is highly resistant to abrasion, wear, and impact, which makes it suitable for functional parts that will experience mechanical stress.
3. Printing with TPU can be more challenging compared to rigid filaments like PLA. It requires careful tuning of the printer settings, such as slower print speeds and proper retraction settings, to avoid issues like stringing and clogging.
4. Common uses for TPU include phone cases, gaskets, seals, flexible hinges, shoe soles, and wearable items. Its flexibility and strength make it suitable for both functional and decorative purposes.
5. TPU adheres well to the print bed but can sometimes be difficult to remove. Using a bed surface like PEI or a build plate adhesive can help with bed adhesion and part removal.
KJI 3D TPU (95A) has the characteristics of elasticity and durability. Printed products are flexible yet tough. They can absorb certain amount of impact without considerable damage.
