BASF Ultrafuse TPU 64D

Ultrafuse TPU 64D

Ultrafuse TPU 64D combines the best of two worlds by being a strong yet flexible filament for Fused Filament Fabrication, suitable for all FFF technologies. Building on BASF‘s decades of experience in flexible materials, this material is based on the established thermoplastic polyurethane Elastollan, standing for maximum reliability, consistent product quality and cost efficiency. Ultrafuse TPU 64D is easily compatible with water soluble support. Thanks to its property profile, Ultrafuse TPU 64D presents an excellent alternative to rubber and ABS for the manufacturing of tools, jigs and fixtures.

Ultrafuse TPU 64D is easy to print on direct drive and bowden style printers and is compatible with soluble BVOH support to realize the most complex geometries.
