What is TPU SHORE A 95 filament?
3D TPU SHORE A 95 filament is a flexible filament made from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) with moderate flexibility. It is characterized by being:
-
Flexibility: This TPU filament is flexible and can be stretched without losing its shape.
-
High resistance: This material has high resistance to elongation, traction and chemical substances.
Differences between different TPU hardness levels:
At 3DFils, we offer three different flexible filament strengths, each designed for different applications.
-
eFil TPU 85A: This is the lowest hardness we offer. Perfect for applications requiring high flexibility, but more difficult to print than the others.
-
eFil TPU 90A: This grade combines high flexibility with increased printability. Perfect if you're new to this type of 3D printing material.
-
eFil TPU 95A: This grade is slightly less flexible than the previous one, but provides superior printability.
-
eFil TPU 60D: This is the highest hardness in the catalog. It's very easy to print. Although it's not as flexible as the other products, it's perfect for applications that require strong impact resistance.
Applications of TPU Shore A 95 filament:
-
Flexible parts: Shore A 95 TPU is ideal for printing flexible parts that need to bend or stretch without breaking, such as mobile phone cases, gaskets, tires, etc., but with a softer, more pleasant-to-the-touch texture.
-
Prototyping: Shore A 95 TPU can be used to create rapid and cost-effective prototypes of parts and designs that need to be flexible and soft to the touch.
-
Printing everyday objects: It can be used to print a wide range of everyday objects, such as shoes, clothing, toys, etc., with a softer and more flexible texture.
-
Industrial Applications: Shore A 95 TPU is used in a variety of industrial applications, such as the manufacture of hoses, cables, and automotive parts that require flexibility and a soft feel.
Advantages of TPU Shore A 95 filament:
-
Flexibility: Shore A 95 TPU is a flexible material that can bend and stretch without breaking.
-
Abrasion resistance: Shore A 95 TPU is resistant to wear and abrasion, making it ideal for applications requiring contact with rough surfaces.
-
Water and chemical resistance: Shore A 95 TPU is resistant to water, oils and many chemicals.
-
Good adhesion between layers: Shore A 95 TPU has good interlayer adhesion, producing high-quality prints.
