Material Description
TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is a versatile 3D printing material that combines the mechanical properties of both plastic and rubber. This unique material is known for its flexibility, durability, and resistance to abrasion and impact. TPU is capable of withstanding repeated bending, stretching, and compression without losing its shape, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring flexibility and elasticity. Some common uses of TPU in 3D printing include protective cases, seals, gaskets, and wearable devices.
