TPU FLEXIBLE POLYMER (SLS)

TPU 1301 MATERIALS INTRODUCTION

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) TPU 1301 is a thermoplastic polyurethane with very flexible properties. It combines elasticity
with good wear resistance. As a result, it is often used for prototypes and end use applications that require good
shock absorption and flexible.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are the key differences between TPU and PLA in 3D printing?


    TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) and PLA (Polylactic Acid) are popular 3D printing materials with distinct properties. TPU is known for its exceptional flexibility, elasticity, and durability, making it ideal for objects that require bending or stretching. In contrast, PLA is rigid and brittle, better suited for stable, non-flexible items. PLA is also biodegradable and easier to print with, often chosen for its environmental friendliness and simplicity. TPU's flexibility, however, makes it the go-to choice for parts needing to withstand stress without breaking, like phone cases or wearable items.
