A flexible and durable thermoplastic polyurethane with high abrasion resistance, ideal for producing resilient, rubber-like elastomer parts.
FDM TPU 92A is a resilient thermoplastic polyurethane engineered specifically for Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technology. With a Shore A hardness of 92, it provides a unique balance of flexibility and strength, behaving like a durable rubber. Its primary differentiator is the ability to produce large, complex, and tough elastomeric parts with the reliability and simplicity of the FDM process, including compatibility with soluble support for intricate designs.
This material is characterized by its specified durability under mechanical stress. Exhibiting an elongation at break of up to 552%, parts made from FDM TPU 92A can stretch and flex repeatedly without tearing or compromising their structural integrity. It possesses excellent abrasion and tear resistance, ensuring long-term performance and reliability for components subjected to friction, wear, and impact.
FDM TPU 92A simplifies the production of complex elastomer geometries. Its compatibility with QSR™ soluble support material enables the creation of parts with intricate internal channels, overhangs, and complex features that would be difficult or impossible to manufacture otherwise. This streamlines post-processing and expands design freedom. The material is validated for use on Stratasys F123™ Series 3D printers.
The combination of performance and process reliability makes FDM TPU 92A suitable for the entire product lifecycle. It is an excellent choice for creating functional, flexible prototypes that accurately simulate the look and feel of final products. Furthermore, its high durability and resistance to wear make it a viable material for manufacturing custom jigs, fixtures, and end-use production parts.
