TPU 95A Filament – Properties, Advantages & Applications in 3D Printing
TPU 95A filament (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is a flexible, highly wear-resistant material ideal for functional parts that must withstand bending, stretching and impact forces. With its medium Shore hardness of 95A, it provides an excellent balance between flexibility and printability – even on Bowden systems.
Advantages of TPU 95A Filament
- High flexibility combined with reliable dimensional stability
- Very abrasion-resistant and extremely durable
- Exceptional shock and vibration resistance
- Resistant to oils, greases and many chemicals
- Excellent layer adhesion for strong and flexible components
- Suitable for Bowden extruders (unlike softer TPU grades)
Printing & Material Characteristics
TPU 95A prints well but requires adjusted extrusion settings and reduced print speeds to achieve clean results. Its medium hardness makes it easier to print than very soft TPU (e.g., 85A) while still maintaining good flexibility.
Optimal Print Settings for TPU 95A
- Nozzle temperature: 210–240 °C
- Heated bed: 40–60 °C
- Build chamber: open or closed
- Cooling fan: 20–40 %
- Print speed: 20–40 mm/s (reduced for clean, accurate results)
Tip: Reduce retraction significantly to avoid clogging. Consistent extrusion flow is crucial when printing flexible materials.
Typical Applications for TPU 95A Filament
- Shock absorbers, vibration mounts & flexible couplings
- Protective housings, covers and functional enclosures
- Gaskets, clips and snap-fit connections
- RC models, drone components & durable flexible parts
- Grips, anti-slip elements & ergonomic components
- Belts, straps and thin-walled flexible objects
TPU 95A vs. TPU 85A – When Is 95A the Better Choice?
TPU 95A is slightly harder and significantly easier to print compared to softer TPU variants. It is the ideal choice when:
- flexibility is needed, but the part must remain dimensionally stable,
- printing is done on Bowden-based 3D printers,
- parts must be abrasion-resistant and impact-resistant,
- precise and clean print details are important.
