BASF Ultrafuse TPC 45D Orange 2,85 mm 500 g

BASF Ultrafuse TPC 45D in Orange is a high-quality 3D printing filament based on Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU), produced by Forward AM under strict quality standards. This material is characterized by its excellent elasticity and high abrasion resistance, making it ideal for applications that require flexibility and durability. With a Shore hardness of 45D, the filament offers a balance between strength and elongation, suitable for functional prototypes, seals, hoses, and shock-absorbing components. The recommended printing temperature ranges between 220°C and 240°C, while the heated bed temperature should ideally be set between 50°C and 70°C to ensure optimal adhesion. Although a closed build chamber is not strictly necessary, it can contribute to better results for larger objects. A key advantage of Ultrafuse TPC 45D is its good tensile strength and abrasion resistance, enabling long-lasting printed parts. However, it should be noted that TPU materials are generally sensitive to moisture and should be dried before printing to avoid print defects. Additionally, printing with TPU requires a slightly slower print speed and a direct drive extruder to prevent jamming.
