TPU
As a strong, wear-resistant and elastic material, SLS TPU opens up new application opportunities. Thanks to its wide processing window and the complete recyclability of the powder cake, it is a natural choice for series production. Elastic parts made of this material have both high strength and high wear resistance, and are widely used in many fields such as footwear, sports equipment, pipes, seals, and prosthetics.

Best for
Hinzufügen eines gleichmäßigen schwarzen Finishs zu TPU-Teilen, wenn Kunststoff-Endteile eine konsistente Farbe erfordern.
Note
Bestätigen Sie vor der Produktion die Farbstoffpenetration, die Farbkonsistenz und die Maßänderung an TPU.
Painting
Finish options
Glossy and matte paint finishes available
Best for
Hinzufügen einer benutzerdefinierten Farbe und einer schützenden Lackschicht zu TPU-Teilen für Kunststoff-Endteile.
Note
Validieren Sie vor der Produktion die Lackhaftung, Maskierungsgrenzen und Beschichtungsabdeckung an TPU, insbesondere an Grenzflächen, Kanten und feinen Details.
Vapor Smoothing
Surface result
Chemically smoothed surfaces with reduced layer lines
Best for
Reduzierung sichtbarer Schichtlinien auf TPU-Teilen, die für Kunststoff-Endteile und erscheinungskritische Prototypen verwendet werden.
Note
Bestätigen Sie vor der Dampfglättung die Materialkompatibilität, Merkmalserhaltung und Dimensionsauswirkungen auf TPU.
Sand Blasting
Surface result
Uniform matte texture
Best for
Erzeugen einer gleichmäßigen matten Textur auf TPU-Teilen, die für Kunststoff-Endteile und Display- oder Funktionsprototypen verwendet werden.
Note
Bestätigen Sie Maskierung und Merkmalserhaltung an TPU; Schleifstrahlen kann die Textur verändern und feine Details mildern.
