Rubber you can print — grippy, bouncy and near-indestructible.
TPU 95A 3D printing at KAD3D — Rubber you can print — grippy, bouncy and near-indestructible.
TPU 95A is a printable rubber: it stretches enormously and springs back, absorbs impact and abrasion, and grips like rubber. It prints slowly and to looser tolerances than rigid plastics, and fine unsupported detail is difficult.
TPU is the flexible, rubber-like material behind phone cases, gaskets, seals, protective bumpers, wearable straps and shoe soles. It is printed for grips, flexible mounts and any part that needs to bend and spring back.
Typical applications include Gaskets, grips, casters, protective bumpers, and wearable prototypes.
Produced with FDM, TPU 95A 3D printing typically offers a tensile strength around 27 MPa, elongation at break near 650%, a density of 1.22 g/cm³, a hardness of 95A Shore and water absorption around 1.2%. Full technical data is listed in the table below.
For dimensional work, TPU 95A supports a typical layer height or tolerance of ±0.25–0.30 mm or ±0.5%.
This makes TPU 95A a strong choice for parts that need flexible / rubber-like, impact-tough, end-use production, water-resistant and fatigue-resistant.
Finishing options for TPU 95A include Painting / Priming.
Standard turnaround for TPU 95A is 3 business days, with an express option in 24 hours, from order confirmation and delivered Australia-wide.
Often chosen by Sydney and Melbourne product teams for grips, seals and protective bumpers where a genuinely rubber-like, hard-wearing part is needed without soft tooling.
Stands in for moulded rubber and cast polyurethane parts.
Slightly rubbery matte surface with visible layer lines; not easily sanded, so print in the final colour. The most popular finish is Print in the final colour — TPU is difficult to finish; design the surface into the part. Range of colours and hardnesses (85A–98A) available — reach out to check a specific option. Maximum build size is up to 1000 × 1000 × 1000 mm (larger on request).
FDM (fused deposition modelling) builds each part layer by layer from a molten thermoplastic filament — a fast, cost-effective process ideal for prototypes and functional parts. You can read more about the FDM process on Wikipedia.
To get the best results with TPU 95A, send your part as an STL, STEP or 3MF file and tell us the intended use, the tolerances that matter and any cosmetic finish you need. Our team confirms the ideal build orientation, wall thickness and infill, and flags anything that could affect strength, accuracy or surface quality before printing begins.
