Introducing Smooth TPU 95A: Flexible Elastomeric Polyurethane

TPU, thermoplastic polyurethane, is a rubberlike material used in parts where flexibility, compressibility, and impact absorption are needed — bumpers, belts, pads, gaskets, and protective coverings.

It is also notoriously finicky and difficult to use with most 3D printers. Smooth TPU 95A, the newest addition to the Digital Forge, delivers the benefits of flexible materials without the frequent adjustments, stringing, and blobs common to most TPUs available today.

After months of fine-tuning and print testing in the Markforged Materials Lab, Smooth TPU is ready. It prints with the consistent surface finish and reliable print quality you have come to expect from Markforged.

Join us for a conversation with TPU beta customer Charles Renegar as we cover the following topics:

  • Key manufacturing use cases for 3D-printed flexible materials
  • Differences from existing TPU printers on the market
  • Tips and tricks for starting out with Smooth TPU 95A
