Compatibility:
BigRep TPU opens up a wealth of possibilities for manufacturers and consumers with a flexible engineering-grade material that has been expertly developed and tested to work with BigRep’s large-format industrial 3D printers. TPU boasts a high temperature resistance and commendably low temperature impact resistance. The durable material exhibits excellent shock-damping behavior and dynamic properties that enable designers to explore a broader range of manufacturing opportunities. Printing elastomers is one of the biggest challenges in the FFF additive manufacturing industry, so we’re proud provide BigRep TPU as an industrial-grade solution. TPU is ideal for cushioning and shock dampening, ergonomic features, and wearables. Soft, flexible products like footwear, shocks, and seals are ideal due to the material’s high durability and chemical resistance.Ask our Experts
Features
Extremely High Impact Strength
BigRep TPU filament is known for its extremely high impact strength. It is designed to withstand significant forces and impacts without breaking or deforming, making it suitable for applications that require parts with excellent durability and resistance to impact.
Halogen-Free
BigRep TPU filament is formulated to be halogen-free. This means that it does not contain halogen-based compounds, which can be harmful to health and the environment. By being halogen-free, the filament ensures a safer and more sustainable printing experience.
Silicone, Softener & Oil-Free
TPU filament from BigRep is free from silicone, softeners, and oils. This feature ensures that the printed parts do not have any unwanted residues or contamination. It is particularly important for applications where purity and cleanliness are required, such as in the medical or food industries.
Shore Hardness 98 A
BigRep TPU filament has a Shore Hardness rating of 98 A. The Shore Hardness scale measures the material's resistance to indentation or penetration. A higher value indicates a harder material. With a rating of 98 A, BigRep TPU offers a firm yet flexible texture, suitable for applications that require a balance between rigidity and flexibility.
UV-Resistant
BigRep TPU filament is UV-resistant, meaning it has the ability to resist degradation caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. This feature makes it suitable for outdoor applications or environments where the printed parts will be exposed to sunlight for extended periods without experiencing significant degradation or fading.
