Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How flexible is TPU-95A? TPU with Shore hardness 95A is elastic & bendable, but stable enough for functional parts.
Do I need a special printer? TPU can be printed on many FDM printers – best with a direct extruder.
Is the material durable? Yes! It is highly abrasion-resistant, oil- & water-resistant – ideal for intensive use.
