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
Añadir un acabado negro uniforme a las piezas de TPU cuando las piezas de plástico de uso final requieren un color consistente.
Note
Confirme la penetración del tinte, la consistencia del color y el cambio dimensional en TPU antes de la producción.
Painting
Finish options
Glossy and matte paint finishes available
Best for
Añadir un color personalizado y una capa de pintura protectora a las piezas de TPU para piezas de plástico de uso final.
Note
Valide la adherencia de la pintura, los límites de enmascaramiento y la cobertura del revestimiento en TPU antes de la producción, especialmente alrededor de las interfaces, los bordes y los detalles finos.
Vapor Smoothing
Surface result
Chemically smoothed surfaces with reduced layer lines
Best for
Reducir las líneas de capa visibles en las piezas de TPU utilizadas para piezas de plástico de uso final y prototipos de apariencia crítica.
Note
Confirme la compatibilidad del material, la retención de características y el impacto dimensional en TPU antes del alisado por vapor.
Sand Blasting
Surface result
Uniform matte texture
Best for
Crear una textura mate uniforme en las piezas de TPU utilizadas para piezas de plástico de uso final y prototipos de exhibición o funcionales.
Note
Confirme el enmascaramiento y la retención de características en TPU; el chorro de arena abrasivo puede cambiar la textura y suavizar los detalles finos.
