TPE
TPE, or thermoplastic elastomer, is a flexible 3D printing material that combines the properties of rubber with the processing advantages of plastics. It is a popular material used for printing parts that require flexibility, elasticity, and good impact resistance. TPE is a versatile material that can be used to produce parts with different levels of flexibility, from soft and rubber-like to hard and rigid. It is also resistant to abrasion, chemicals, and oils, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. TPE is compatible with a variety of 3D printers and can be printed using both FDM and SLA technologies. When printing with TPE, it is important to adjust the printer settings to ensure good adhesion and avoid warping or curling of the printed parts. Overall, TPE is a useful material for producing functional parts that require flexibility, elasticity, and good impact resistance, such as seals, gaskets, and parts for consumer products, automotive, and medical devices.
