BigRep TPU 98A
With high impact strength, tear strength, durability, and chemical resistance, parts printed with BigRep TPU 98A can withstand heavy wear and tear.
Description
BigRep’s TPU 98A is a flexible filament that is strong, durable, UV-stabilized, and highly chemically resistant. Perfectly suited for industrial applications, especially where parts may be exposed to oil, grease, or chemicals, TPU 98A is also rugged. With high impact strength, tear strength, durability, and abrasion resistance, TPU parts can withstand heavy wear and tear.
Its great layer and bed adhesion result in strong, geometrically accurate parts with minimal warping or deformation. While being flexible, BigRep TPU 98A is a relatively rigid elastomere. The hard/softness of 3D printed parts can be tuned by altering slicing settings for more or less rigidity. With excellent damping behavior, TPU 98A is perfect for manufacturing aids, particularly those interfacing with sensitive parts and equipment.
