Glossary of 3D Printing Terms
[1] |
Elastic Filament Elastic filament refers to a category of 3D printing materials that exhibit flexibility and stretchability, such as TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) or TPE (thermoplastic elastomers). These materials are used for printing objects that require flexibility, such as phone cases, wearable devices, or gaskets. Elastic filaments require specific printer settings, including low print speeds, precise temperature control, and minimal retraction, to achieve successful prints. The flexible nature of these filaments makes them challenging to work with, as they are prone to tangling and jamming. Despite the challenges, elastic filaments are valued for their ability to create functional and durable objects with unique properties. |
