Most 3D printers squeeze molten plastic through a nozzle to form shapes (toys), but Formlabs incorporates Stereolithography (SLA) and Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) to build highly accurate functional prototypes featuring a wide variety of physical properties.
Formlabs Introduces Their First Flexible SLS 3D Printing Material: TPU 90A
Formlabs recently announced their first soft-touch material for the Fuse Series SLS printers. TPU 90A unlocks new possibilities in applications by combining the high tear strength and elongation at break of rubber materials with the design freedom and durability of SLS 3D printing. TPU 90A Powder is a flexible elastomer, making it ideal for 3D printing parts such as:
- Skin-safe wearables
- Soles, splints, orthotics, and prosthetics
- Protective sport equipment
- Gaskets, seals, masks, belts, plugs, and tubes
- Padding, dampers, cushions, and grippers
What 3D Printer can do this?
Formlabs' Fuse printers use laser sintering technology to create highly accurate prototypes from a powder form media. Physical properties of the final products vary based on the media used.
Additionally, Formlabs produces 3D printers that can create 3D models from liquid resins, further expanding outcome applications.
