Why does TPU stay flexible while PLA is rigid?
TPU is a thermoplastic elastomer: its polymer chains give it elastic rebound and abrasion resistance, so printed parts bend and recover instead of snapping.

01 · Why this one
Product highlights
4 reasonsBends and rebounds without cracking - printed prototype gaskets, cushions and grips come off the plate ready for fit checks.
Neatly wound, tangle-free spools prevent the mid-print snags that flexible TPU is most sensitive to
winding is checked before packing.
Vacuum sealed with desiccant because TPU absorbs moisture faster than rigid PLA

Before You Ask
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does TPU stay flexible while PLA is rigid?
TPU is a thermoplastic elastomer: its polymer chains give it elastic rebound and abrasion resistance, so printed parts bend and recover instead of snapping.
How should I feed TPU to avoid jams?
It is compatible with mainstream FDM printers; a direct-drive extruder and slow printing give the most reliable feeding on flexible filament.
What temperature should I print at?
Recommended nozzle setting is 220°C per our material parameter sheet; keep speeds moderate for stable extrusion.
How much does one spool print?
Estimate from your slicer's material usage; flexible parts are often solid, which consumes material faster than sparse rigid prints.
Is the white color consistent across spools?
Yes, color is controlled per production batch with inspection before packing, keeping repeat orders visually matched.
Can you supply custom hardness for our project?
Custom durometer options are available under OEM & ODM. We work mainly on a wholesale basis; contact us with your target spec and volume for a quote.
What parts fit this TPU best?
Prototype gaskets, cushions, grips, protective covers and flexible connectors where rubber-like behavior is needed.
How should I store TPU after opening?
Reseal with desiccant immediately - TPU is hygroscopic, and moist filament causes bubbles and foamy extrusion within days.
