Ultimaker TPU 95A: flexible and hard-wearing

Ultimaker TPU 95A (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is a versatile semi-flexible material designed for industrial applications that require the properties of both rubber and plastic. Engineered for consistency and ease of use, it is significantly faster and easier to print than standard TPU filaments while maintaining exceptional durability and chemical resistance.

This NFC-enabled spool features an integrated chip that communicates directly with your Ultimaker printer. The system automatically recognises the material properties and colour, ensuring the correct print settings are applied and minimising the risk of configuration errors.

Key benefits:

• Exceptional durability: Features high impact strength and outstanding resistance to wear, tear, and abrasion.
• Rubber-like flexibility: With a Shore A hardness of 95 and up to 580% elongation at break, it is ideal for parts requiring flexibility without compromising strength.
• Chemical resistance: Offers good corrosion resistance to many common industrial oils and chemicals.
• Easy printing experience: Specifically developed for a smoother, faster 3D printing process compared to other flexible filaments.
• Superior adhesion: Provides strong interlayer adhesion, ensuring mechanical parts remain robust under stress.

Applications:

Ideally suited for functional prototypes, industrial coatings, custom components, tools, and end-use parts such as seals, gaskets, and protective casings.

Professional tips:

• Extruder maintenance: Ensure your drive gears are clean to prevent slipping, as TPU is softer than rigid filaments.
• Print speed: While Ultimaker TPU is optimised for speed, complex geometries may still benefit from slightly slower settings to ensure perfect surface quality.
