Applications
PolyFlex™ TPU95 is a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) based filament specifically engineered to work on most desktop 3D printers. It has a shore hardness of 95A and can stretch more than 3 times its original length.
What does 95 means?
95 refers to the shore hardness of the material: 95 Shore A.
In 3D printing the shore hardness is only an indication on how flexible the printed part will be. However it is important to also take in consideration the infill percentage, number of walls, top/bottom layers and the layer height.
Can my printer print PolyFlex™ TPU95?
We highly recommend using a direct drive printer to print PolyFlex™ TPU95. A direct drive printer is a printer with an extruder mounted on top of the hot end.
