Polyurethane
Term · Additive manufacturing and 3D printing · MLC-T-ADM-000301
A polymer available in a range of formulations, from rigid plastics to flexible elastomers, known for its abrasion resistance, toughness, and elasticity. Polyurethane (PU) is used in additive manufacturing to produce flexible parts, seals, gaskets, and components requiring impact absorption. It can be processed using methods like selective laser sintering (SLS) or material jetting.
