TPE (SLS technology)

TPE is a versatile, highly elastic material for 3D printing of flexible, resilient components. It combines the convenience of plastic with the softness of rubber, with good resistance to wear, chemicals and repeated mechanical stress. Ideal for gaskets, protective parts, ergonomic parts and customised products, even with complex geometries, for sectors such as automotive, medical, consumer and industrial design.

FAQ

What is the difference between TPE and TPU?

Both are elastic; TPE tends to be softer and more rubber-like, suited to comfort and adaptability, while TPU generally offers greater abrasion resistance.

Where is TPE used?

Gaskets, protective parts, ergonomic parts and customised products, in sectors such as automotive, medical, consumer and industrial design.
