TPU has high elasticity and can print models with good flexibility. The representative applications are generally as follows:
First, in terms of shoe materials, such as the use of TPU in the printing of midsoles, multi-layer batch printing can also be achieved through professional equipment. The use of TPU materials combined with high-end research and development design makes sports shoes more lightweight and technological. Its unique elasticity and durability are deeply loved by consumers.
In the medical field, it can be used for customized orthopedic insoles and rehabilitation headrests.
TPU is used to make elastic objects such as hoses and springs. Its wear resistance is quite strong. Even under frequent friction and impact conditions, the printed products can remain in good condition for a long time.
In the automotive industry, TPU is used to make buffer parts for car bumpers. These parts need to play a good buffering role in collisions, and at the same time they have to withstand wear and temperature changes during daily use, and the characteristics of TPU enable it to complete it well.
TPU not only has good biocompatibility and can be close to the human body, but also has a shape memory effect, which can restore its original shape after heating. It has also attracted much attention in the field of self-healing polymers. It has the ability to self-repair damage and can effectively extend the life of the product. It has very good wear resistance, oil resistance, weather resistance, etc., a wide and adjustable hardness range, and easy-to-control mechanical properties and high-resolution printing, making it very suitable for high-precision and high-resolution printing.
