We recently used additive manufacturing to print custom components made of TPU.
TPU is a rubber-like material that allows to print flexible and soft parts but strong at the same time, suitable for shock adsorbing and avoinding scratches on the workpieces surface.
Our applications that have taken advantage from TPU print are:
- custom welding clamp jaws, used in assembly of components with aesthetic requirements
- customized door bumper inside a stainless steel metal forniture: it saves the contact bewteen the plates during door opening increasing comfort and preserving the edge
At this link the dumping action of the first version is showed up, then the geometry was optimized by rounding the shape:
