TPU FOAM: Variable Shore Hardness and Lightness
TPU FOAM features variable shore hardness, a lighter weight compared to other materials and a softer touch. With this material, you can choose between various densities from shore hardness 92A (unfoamed) to shore 55A (maximum foamed) depending on extrusion temperature and processing speed.
| Standard lead time | About 4 working days, depending on part size, quantity, number of components and finishing degrees. |
|---|---|
| Standard accuracy | ±0.012 in (± 0.3 mm) - may vary depending on geometry. |
| Layer thickness | 0.004 in (0.1 mm) to 0.012 in (0.3 mm) |
| Minimum wall thickness | 0.039 in - 1 mm |
| Maximum build dimensions | Dimensions are unlimited as components may be composed of several sub-parts. The maximum build envelope is 9.84 x 8.27 x 8.66 in (250 x 210 x 220 mm). |
| Surface structure | Unfinished parts typically have a rough surface but all kinds of fine finishes are possible. FDM/FFF parts can be smoothed, painted and coated. |
