95A TPU is a high-quality flexible filament designed to meet the needs of professional and hobbyist 3D printing applications. With a Shore hardness of 95A, this TPU strikes an excellent balance between flexibility and rigidity, offering versatility across a wide range of use cases.
Characteristics
Flexible Yet Durable: With a Shore hardness of 95A, this TPU is flexible enough for dynamic applications while maintaining robust mechanical properties for durability under stress.
Impact-Resistant: Perfect for objects that need to withstand shocks, drops, or heavy usage without deforming permanently.
Elastic Memory: The material recovers its original shape after deformation, making it suitable for springs, seals, or other elastic components.
Abrasion Resistance: TPU is well-known for its resistance to wear and tear, making it ideal for moving parts or surfaces that experience friction.
Chemical Resistance: Resistant to oils, greases, and many chemicals, expanding its application in industrial environments.
Printable on Standard 3D Printers: Designed to work with most FDM printers that support flexible filaments, with recommended settings for ease of use.
Smooth Finish: Produces parts with a sleek surface, making it visually appealing and suitable for consumer products.
Applications
Prototyping: Ideal for creating flexible parts like hinges, gaskets, or seals for testing and development.
Wearable Products: Excellent for custom-fit items such as wristbands, insoles, or grips due to its comfort and flexibility.
Protective Gear: Can be used for impact-resistant cases, bumpers, and padding.
Industrial Uses: Applicable in machinery for flexible seals, belts, or vibration-dampening components.
Automotive: Perfect for parts that require flexibility, such as bushings, boots, or custom fittings.
Technical Recommendations:
Printing Temperature: 220-250°C
Bed Temperature: 50-60°C (optional but helps adhesion)
Print Speed: 20-40 mm/s (Higher speeds possible on high speed machines) to ensure precision and avoid filament binding.
Retraction: Minimal or disabled retraction to prevent filament snapping or clogging.
Nozzle Size: A standard 0.4mm nozzle works well, but larger nozzles can improve flow for thicker layers.
Comparison with Other Flexible Filaments:
vs. SBS: While SBS is more rigid and easier to print, TPU offers superior elasticity, durability, and abrasion resistance.
vs. PLA: TPU is significantly more flexible and impact-resistant than PLA but requires more careful handling during printing.
vs. ABS: TPU outperforms ABS in flexibility and chemical resistance but lacks the high-temperature resistance of ABS.
