When you buy filament for your 3D printer, you are spoilt for choice. With a wide range of different filament types to choose from, you can guarantee that your printed 3D models will have specific textures, densities, and resistances.
When it comes to TPU filament, 3D Unique sells a selection of Creality HP-TPU filaments that is available in a variety of colours as well. This specific material is ideal for producing 3D models that are durable and offer resistances to various elements. Let’s talk about the details of TPU and what you can expect from this specific material.
How Can I Utilise TPU Filament for My Prints?
TPU filament is compatible with 3D printers that feature extruder nozzles that can reach temperatures of between 220 °C and 250 °C. This material does not require a heated print bed. If your printer has a heated print bed, the temperature should not exceed 60 °C. This type of filament consists of thermoplastic polyurethane – making it flexible and abrasion resistant.
When printing with TPU filament, you can expect 3D models that are ideal for outdoor usage – able to handle ambient temperatures of up to 80 °C. It is also ideal for impact resistance and chemical resistance. This opens a world of applications and functions – giving you the freedom to print almost anything that will face harsh conditions daily.
HP-TPU Filament Advantages
When using HP-TPU filament, you can expect faster print speeds in comparison to regular TPU filament. This specific material features increased flexibility and ensures no clogging during prints. It is available in black, white, and transparent colours. With a stable, impact-resistant material such as HP-TPU, you can expect increased levels of toughness and resistance from this material. This also means no warping from your final products.
Ideal Applications
With its high level of resistance to abrasive fluids, combined with its high level of resistance to impact, TPU filament is perfect for mechanical and automative applications. When you need to create a unique part that fits a mechanically driven machine, this material is your go-to solution. These parts can include plugs, gaskets, tubes, and seals to only name a few examples. Our range of Creality TPU filaments pairs excellent with Creality 3D printers.
