Glossary of 3D Printing Terms
[1] |
Elasticity Elasticity in 3D printing refers to the ability of a material to return to its original shape after being deformed. This property is critical when printing flexible or stretchable objects, such as gaskets, wearable devices, or soft robotics. Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) are common elastic materials used in 3D printing. These materials require specific settings, such as lower print speeds and precise extrusion temperatures, to achieve successful prints. Understanding elasticity is important not only for selecting the right material but also for designing objects with functional flexibility, such as hinges or shock-absorbing components. Elasticity plays a significant role in the growing field of functional and wearable 3D-printed products. |
