Product catalog summary
Overview of TPU Filament for 3D Printing
TPU is a flexible filament designed for high-speed printing on both direct and Bowden style 3D printers. It is known for its high heat resistance and flexibility, making it suitable for professional applications.

Key Features:
  • Strong and flexible with a high softening point of 138°C.
  • Can be stretched up to 450% before breaking.
  • Printable at speeds greater than 75mm/s.
  • Resistant to oils, greases, and microorganisms.
  • Can be printed on clean glass without a heated bed.

Applications: TPU is ideal for creating orthopedic insoles, prosthetics, vibration dampers, and other flexible objects.

Color Options: Available colors can be checked on the website.

Storage Recommendations: Store in a cool, dry place (15-25˚C) away from UV light to enhance shelf life. A soft spring is recommended when using TPU filament.

Filament Specifications:
  • Diameter: 1.75mm with a tolerance of ± 0.05mm and roundness ≥ 95%.

Datasheet TPU-1

ddclrcip TPU TPU is a specifically formulated flexible filament for easy & high speed printing on both direct and Bowden style 3D printers. TPU features an exceptionally high heat resistance (138°C) and can be stretched as far as 450% before reaching its breaking point. TPU does not reguire the use of a heated bed and can even be printed straight onto (clean) glass. TPU is the flexible filament for (semi)professional users who do not want to compromise and reguire a high mechanical flexible filament that prints easily. TPU is an extremely usable flex-filament with a wide variety of different applications such as orthopedic insoles, prosthetics, vibration dampers and much more. Features: • Strong & flexible • Printable at speeds of >75mm/s • Exceptionally high softening point of 138°C • 450% elongation at break • Resistance to oils, greases & microorganisms • Easily print watertight objects Colours: Check the website for available colours. Additional info: Storage: Cool and dry (15-25°C) and away from UV light. This enhances the shelf life significantly. We recommend the use of a soft spring with TPU filament.
