Ultrasint® TPU 88A Description

This type of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is widely used in various applications. It is strong, flexible, and durable to withstand harsh conditions and high temperatures. This material is a powder and uses powder-bed technology (selective laser sintering). Because the part is suspended in powder, it enables designs without supports, thereby lowering production costs.

Ultrasint TPU 88A is ideal for creating functional prototypes, end-use parts, and manufacturing tools that require flexibility and durability. Industries such as automotive, aerospace, and consumer goods commonly use this material. It resists abrasion and chemicals, absorbs shocks well, and dampens vibrations effectively.

With Ultrasint® TPU 88A, designers and manufacturers can create high-quality parts that can handle harsh environments.

Finishes for selective laser sintered Ultrasint® TPU 88A.

This material, made with selective laser sintering, offers various finishes to improve the look and function of the final part. The standard finishes are:

  • Matte: This finish is non-reflective and textured, which reduces glare and gives a subtle, industrial style.
  • Glossy: A smooth, shiny finish highlights the part’s shapes and details, creating a polished, high-quality look.
  • Textured: This custom finish has a patterned surface that provides grip and tactile feedback while adding visual interest.
