Best printing practices

When 3D printing, always work in a well ventilated workspace.

In 3D printing technology, usually Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) and Polylactic acid (PLA) are considered as standard plastics for printer filament but due to insufficient flexibility, they can’t be used in bending prototypes. On the other hand, TPU printing filament is flexible in nature. It can bend easily without any effect on the design, strength and durability. A mild soap can be used for its cleaning.

TPU filament has a number of features, making it a great choice for a wide range of uses. It is resistant to abrasion, oil, chemical and wearing, which makes it perfect for use in industries such as the automotive industry. printed parts of TPU are also resistant to low temperatures, which means that it does not become brittle and difficult to work with.

Compared to TPE, which is also a flexible filament, TPU is a little bit easier to print and retains its elastic properties better at lower temperatures. TPU material also has a higher abrasion resistance and a higher resistance to oils and greases.

TPU filament, unlike other stiffer thermoplastic, has qualities that include flexibility and conformity. It also has an excellent interlayer adhesion and no curling or delamination during the 3D printing process.

Flexible TPU filaments can be stored in a cool airtight container. Container may also have a desiccant pack, so that filament bone remains dry. This container can also help in preventing the entry of dirt and dust particles, so that the filament could be used anytime for print. Although some type of TPUs are water-resistant, prolonged contact with water could result in degradation of the product.
