First, however, let\u2019s take a closer look at the material properties of TPU.<\/p>\n<p>Thermoplastic polyurethane is not only very flexible, but also chemically resistant, resistant to wear and abrasion, and it has high adhesion to boot. With these properties, TPU qualifies for a <strong>wide range of applications <\/strong>across diverse industries. TPU\u2019s flexibility can also vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. There are harder and softer TPUs. The decisive factor is the chemical composition of the material, or, more precisely, the distribution of the hard and soft segments. Hard segments influence the melting point and solidification behavior of the material, the soft segments determine the chemical properties such as the aforementioned resistance, durability, etc.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, there are the advantages that 3D printing has to offer in general: Cost efficiency for prototypes and smaller batch sizes, elimination of tools, resource-saving material consumption and the options for lightweight design optimization. voxeljet offers some of the best 3D printers for TPU, including support service and expert advice for our customers.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row unlock_row_content=&#8221;yes&#8221;
