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.

Dyeing
Color result
Black dye finish
Best for
Ajouter une finition noire uniforme aux pièces en TPU lorsque les pièces plastiques destinées à l'utilisation finale nécessitent une couleur cohérente.
Note
Confirmez la pénétration du colorant, la cohérence de la couleur et le changement dimensionnel sur TPU avant la production.
Painting
Finish options
Glossy and matte paint finishes available
Best for
Ajouter une couleur personnalisée et une couche de peinture protectrice aux pièces en TPU pour les pièces plastiques destinées à l'utilisation finale.
Note
Validez l'adhésion de la peinture, les limites de masquage et la couverture du revêtement sur TPU avant la production, en particulier autour des interfaces, des bords et des détails fins.
Vapor Smoothing
Surface result
Chemically smoothed surfaces with reduced layer lines
Best for
Réduire les lignes de couche visibles sur les pièces en TPU utilisées pour les pièces plastiques destinées à l'utilisation finale et les prototypes critiques en apparence.
Note
Confirmez la compatibilité du matériau, la rétention des caractéristiques et l'impact dimensionnel sur TPU avant le lissage par vapeur.
Sand Blasting
Surface result
Uniform matte texture
Best for
Créer une texture mate uniforme sur les pièces en TPU utilisées pour les pièces plastiques destinées à l'utilisation finale et les prototypes d'exposition ou fonctionnels.
Note
Confirmez le masquage et la rétention des caractéristiques sur TPU ; le sablage abrasif peut modifier la texture et adoucir les détails fins.
