At Afaridan, we specialise in 3D printing with a variety of industrial materials.
When our clients need a durable yet flexible part, we often recommend either TPU or Silicone, depending on the application.
In this video, we showcase the unique properties of TPU 90A and Silicone 40A to help choose the best option for your project.
✨ Benefits of TPU 90A Powder ✨
🔹 Tough and Flexible – Choose to print with TPU 90A Powder to produce durable, elastic parts that perform in real-word industrial environments.
🔹 Skin Safe - TPU 90A is skin-safe, making it perfect for medical applications such as the prosthetics in this video.
🔹 SLS 3D Printing – For functional parts and prototypes, SLS doesn’t require supports meaning prints with complex geometries can be produced easily.
✨ Benefits of Silicone 40A Resin ✨
🔹Outstanding Elastomeric Performance – Choose Silicone 40A Resin to manufacture soft, pliable, and durable parts that have the capacity to withstand up to 230% elongation.
🔹 Design Freedom - Achieve fine features (down to 0.3mm) and intricate geometries that would be challenging with traditional manufacturing processes.
🔹 SLA 3D Printing – Take advantage of the highest resolution 3D printing process to produce parts with smooth surface finishes and fine features.
