Application of TPU Filament in the field of 3D printing custom

Image
 eTPU-95A is a tpu filament series with ultra-high fluidity and excellent elasticity. Products using these  3d printing materials  are not easily deformed, have good softness, high tear resistance, wear resistance and cut resistance, high hardness and good resilience, and are very suitable for insoles, shoes, medical prostheses, delivery tubes, etc. . In February 2022, eSUN and Wanhua Chemical jointly released antibacterial TPU 3d printing materials. Orthodontic insoles made of this  tpu filament  can effectively inhibit the production of fungi and bacteria, and the antibacterial effect exceeds 99.9%. In addition, the TPU material also has the best anti-mold effect, and the anti-mold grade is 0, which can tolerate the growth of mold. The antibacterial TPU 3D printed insole can maintain the foot hygienic environment better than ordinary insoles. 3D printing materials with rich performance and characteristics help to expand the application scenarios of 3D printing...

What is Water Washable Resin?

Image
 As the name implies, water washable 3d printer resin is a photopolymer resin that can be washed directly with water. Friends who have been working in the 3D printing industry for a long time should know that after printing with photopolymer resin, it is necessary to use solvents to clean the surface of the model. In the process of cleaning the resin model, there will also be some hidden dangers: the cost of organic solvents as cleaning agents is high, the smell is unsafe, and the waste water after cleaning is troublesome.  Water washable resin  came into being under such a background, directly eliminating most of the drawbacks of traditional photopolymer resins. What are the characteristics of water washable photosensitive resin? 1. High printing efficiency The water washable 3d printing resin can be washed directly, eliminating the need for alcohol cleaning steps, greatly shortening the post-processing time, and improving printing efficiency. 2. High cost performance Th...

What are the pros and cons of pla filaments?

Image
 PLA, or polylactic acid, is the most commonly used  3d printing materials . PLA is an environmentally friendly material that is easy to print and is more environmentally friendly than other plastics. eSUN's pla+ is FDA-approved and safer to use. So what are the characteristics of pla filaments? Advantages of PLA 3D printing materials Finished products: 1. The printed surface is smooth 2. Easy post-processing 3. Biodegradable 4. Available in various colors or easily made into colors 5. Drying can increase the hardness During manufacturing: 1. 3D printing is fast and easy 2. Lower printing temperature 3. Low shrinkage Disadvantages of PLA 3D printing materials Finished product: 1. Not durable 2. Soften (may bend or twist) at about 140°F (60°C) 3. Not resistant to UV light During manufacturing: 1. Absorb moisture in the air 2. Sometimes the print head is blocked PLA is one of commonly used 3d printing materials. Whether it is printing equipment or materials, the price is relativ...
