Multi Jet Fusion (MJF)

TPU (MJF) 3D printing

TPU in Multi Jet Fusion gives flexible parts that absorb shocks and vibration. We offer MJF printing in TPU, quoted job by job.

What it is for

TPU in MJF is used for flexible series parts: gaskets, bellows, tubes, dampers, lattice padding, grips, guards and soft grippers for robots. No supports are needed, so you get cavities and lattices that tune how much each zone yields. It absorbs shocks and vibration and returns to shape.

Parts are weaker in the build direction: the data sheet reports 9 MPa of tensile strength in X and 7 MPa in Z. Do not choose it where tight dimensional accuracy is needed: an elastomer deforms, and dimensions repeat less well than on a rigid material. For simple, stronger one-off parts there is filament TPU.

Which variant to choose

In MJF we offer a TPU of 88 Shore A. Choose filament TPU for one-off parts and parts with higher tensile strength; TPU in SLS as the powder alternative for a few parts; PA11 in MJF if you need a part that is stiff but ductile.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The powder maker's data sheet reports a hardness of 88–90 Shore A, a tensile strength of 9 MPa in X and 7 MPa in Z and an elongation at break of 280% in X and 150% in Z (DIN 53504). With lattice structures the part can turn out much softer than the solid material.

Yes, it is a typical use: without supports you get lattices and cells that act as a damper or as padding. Allow openings to empty the powder from cavities and adequate thickness for struts and walls: the minimums of the process are in the «Design limits» section of this page.

TPU is used in contact with oils and greases and resists abrasion well. Outdoors it copes with rain and cold; long exposure to the sun can change its color and hardness over time. If the part works with a specific fluid or has to seal, state it in your request.
