Flexible TPU Filament:
TPU Filament is the most commonly used flexible 3D Filament and is also known as Thermoplastic Polyurethane.
Traditionally, Additive manufacturing has been limited to rigid materials with the ability to melt and reform solid on cooling however,
Flexible TPU allows the user to print objects that have properties of real elasticity and flexibility, pushing the limitations of 3D Printing.
TPU Can be compared to a silicon type material, the infill of your parts will factor how much strength or flexibility your parts will contain
It has a high abrasive resistance and high shear strength, making it perfect for both household and industrial grade 3D Prints.
Rubber-like, extremely flexible and durable. Long-term keeping the natural color and luster; Soft and Stretchable.More wearable and weathering proof.
Specifications:
Hot end Temperature: 195 - 210
Bed Temperature: 40 - 50
Diameter: 1.75mm
Compatible with Creality, Makerbot, UP, Afinia, Ultimaker,Builder, Felix, FlashForge, Monoprice, XYZprinting, Alunar and other desktop and industrial FDM 3D printer
Creality’s TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) filament is a go-to material for 3D prints that demand flexibility, toughness, and impact resistance. Perfect for hobbyists and professionals, it delivers reliable results in projects where both strength and elasticity matter.
