TPU 3D Printing in Easton, PA: Flexible Parts

TPU is rubber-like. It bends, absorbs impact, and springs back, so it is the answer when a hard plastic part will crack or rattle.

Where it earns its keep

• Gaskets, seals, grommets, and bumpers where the original is discontinued, including on vintage equipment.

• Vibration pads, feet, and mounts for electronics, instruments, and shop equipment.

• Protective caps, sleeves, and covers for cables, connectors, tool ends, and sharp edges.

• Flexible hinges and clips for cases, drones, and RC models.

• Boot and bellows-style covers for hobby and light-duty machines.

Honest limits

TPU is not a precision sealing material, and it will not match the compression set or fluid resistance of a molded rubber gasket. Printed parts are best for prototypes, low-pressure seals, and hard-to-find shapes. We will tell you plainly if a molded part is the better route.
