Filament Info

Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) is a flexible, abrasion resistant thermoplastic that is used in a number of manufacturing processes for both consumer and industrial use. In certain blends it can become very soft, but TPU material offers many benefits and features. When it comes to 3D printing, TPU 3D printed parts are durable and have the ability to withstand ambient temperatures of up to 80 degrees Celsius. Source: Tractus3D
