Material Guide

TPU 3D Printing

TPU is a rubber-like flexible filament that bends, stretches, absorbs impact, and still holds its shape.

Flexible

Bends and stretches without breaking.

Impact absorbing

Cushions shocks and reduces vibration.

Abrasion resistant

Withstands wear and tear for long-lasting parts.

Geometry tunes feel

Adjust wall thickness to control softness.

Why Choose TPU

A flexible, durable material for real-world use.

TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) 95A is a hard-rubber-like material that can bend and stretch while remaining durable, making it ideal for functional, everyday parts.

Flexible and Durable

Bends and stretches repeatedly while maintaining its shape and strength.

Impact Absorption

Excellent shock absorption, ideal for protective and high-impact applications.

Seals and Conforms

Creates tight seals and conforms to complex surfaces, great for gaskets and O-rings.

Resistant to Wear, Oil and Chemicals

Offers good abrasion resistance and performs well against oils, grease, and many chemicals.

Geometry Tunes Feel

Wall thickness, infill, and design geometry can make parts softer or firmer to match your needs.

Things to Keep in Mind

Not for every application.

Prints slower than PLA or PETG

Lower print speeds are required for the best results, which increases production time.

Needs careful tuning

Settings like speed, temperature, and retraction need to be dialed in for consistent results.

More expensive per part

Due to the slower print process and material cost, TPU parts are generally more expensive.
