Thermoplastic polyurethane with hardness 98 Shore A. A technical semi-flexible filament that offers great mechanical properties such as high tear and tensile strength.

It is characterized by highly reversible deformation, resistance to ozone, oils, greases, and aliphatic alcohols. Wear resistance guarantees the durability of 3D printed products. Great for the printing of continually sliding parts or sealings.  

Features:
 
  • Can be used for the final surface treatment
  • Great interlayer adhesion ensuring tear strength in all the directions
  • Excellent abrasion resistance
  • High tensile strength
  • Printing with 100% infill ensures tough object
  • Improved UV stability
  • Good rebound resilience
  • High elasticity with highly reversible deformation
  • Safe to use in electrical and electronic equipment
  • Semi-flexible
  • Low warping
  • BPA-free and styrene-free
  • Recyclable

CASE STUDY

Designers in Jičín’s Continental Chassis & Safety Department help to speed up the production with tailor-made 3D printed objects for assembly robots. Thanks to available 3D printers and reliable Fillamentum materials, prototypes and functional parts are created here in a much shorter time than is usual when using traditional machining methods or in cooperation with external suppliers.
