TPU 88A has good flexibility and resilience, wear resistance, and weather resistance, and is suitable for soft rubber applications in different scenarios, such as medical, automotive, fashion clothing, and other fields. At that time, this material was used by us to make customized rehabilitation Headrests and insole products, and there are many successful cases.
The color of TPU 88A material is whiter and brighter while the overall strength is improved. After chemical vapor smoothing treatment, the surface is smooth and shiny, and the appearance effect is completely comparable to TPU/PU products printed by injection molding and light curing technology. And the new TPU 88A material has a higher powder reusability rate, up to 90%, which greatly reduces printing costs and makes SLS 3D printing batch flexible production more cost-effective.
In addition to the rehabilitation field, TPU 88A material can also be widely used in automobiles, consumer electronics, education, and other fields to meet the needs of various flexible application scenarios.
It is also worth mentioning that using SLS technology to print TPU materials has other advantages compared with the same 3D printing light curing technology: 1. SLS technology does not need to add support structures during the printing process, only needs to consider the gap enough to clear the powder. Yes, this makes the product design more free, especially suitable for printing lattice structure soles, insoles and headrests, and other products; 2. SLS-printed TPU has better resilience, lighter weight, and better recovery after the external force is removed, the average deformation is less than 10%; 3. It can be stacked and placed to realize small and medium-sized batch production of SLS printing.
