What is TPU 3D Printing?

TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is a flexible, rubber-like material that combines the ease of thermoplastic printing with elastomer properties. It can stretch, compress, and return to its original shape.

Our TPU 3D printing service in Dubai is perfect for phone cases, gaskets, seals, shoe components, and any application requiring flexibility and impact absorption.

Frequently Asked Questions

How flexible is TPU?

TPU flexibility varies by shore hardness (85A-98A). 85A is very soft like a rubber band, while 95A is like a car tire. We help you choose the right hardness for your application.

Is TPU durable?

Yes! TPU has excellent abrasion resistance, tear strength, and can withstand repeated flexing without degrading. Its great for high-wear applications.

Can TPU be used for waterproof seals?

TPU makes good gaskets and seals, though for critical waterproof applications, traditional rubber may be more reliable. TPU is excellent for semi-flexible sealing applications.

How much does TPU printing cost in Dubai?

TPU printing starts from AED 90 due to slower printing speeds and material costs. The unique flexible properties justify the investment.
