TPU
Term · Additive manufacturing and 3D printing · MLC-T-ADM-000392
An abbreviation for Thermoplastic Polyurethane, a flexible and durable polymer widely used in additive manufacturing. This material exhibits high elasticity, abrasion resistance, and good chemical resistance, making it suitable for parts requiring rubber-like properties. TPU is commonly printed using fused deposition modeling (FDM) for applications like flexible casings, seals, and footwear components.
