TPU Filament by purefil – Flexible and Durable 3D Printing Material

Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) is a flexible, wear-resistant 3D printing material known for its exceptional elasticity and high resilience. TPU combines excellent abrasion resistance with superior mechanical properties, making it a preferred choice for applications requiring durability and flexibility.

Why Choose TPU for 3D Printing?

Thanks to its minimal shrinkage and excellent adhesion properties, TPU is perfectly suited for Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printing. Unlike many other flexible filaments, TPU can be printed directly onto a non-heated print bed without significant warping. Additionally, TPU bonds well with various plastics, making it ideal for dual-extrusion printing and multi-material applications.
