TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is a flexible, rubber-like 3D printing material used in FDM 3D printing to produce durable, elastic parts, custom prototypes, and impact-resistant components. Known for its high mechanical strength, wear resistance, and stretchability, TPU is ideal for applications requiring flexibility, shock absorption, and long-term performance. Perfect for automotive parts, wearables, medical devices, and industrial-grade soft components, TPU delivers high-quality, functional 3D prints with excellent layer adhesion and chemical resistance.
