What is TPU Filament?
TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) is a thermoplastic polymer that is known for its flexibility, durability, and strength. TPU is often used in applications that require elasticity or rubber-like textures.
- Often used for projects like phone cases or shoes
- Great for items that require resistance to wear and tear
- TPU filament can withstand friction without wearing down or breaking

Questions
This isn't a question, but MatterHackers doesn't offer any kind of feedback system, so here you go. This material is incredibly prone to warping! It's worse than abs, and more like polycarbonate. This is exacerbated by the fact the manufacturer recommends printing with 100% infill. Buyer beware, if your part won't print GREAT in abs, then don't even try this stuff. I'm happy with it otherwise, just thought they didn't put a strong enough warning on here.
If I used a water soluble support that I removed yourself before sending it in, would that work? Would the green state survive that? If I used ABS, could I use acetone to remove/lossen it?
What is the length or volume of filament included. I've always hated this whole buying by weight and with a filament that is 80% Stainless Steel, this spool being 3KG means nothing to me about how much I can print.
How much shrinkage should we expect post-production?
Can you use this material on the New Bambu Lab X-1 Carbon
hi, as i work as a jeweler and have access to sintering equipment is there a lower cost to buy the material without the sintering ticket or is it $465 either way?
Do you recommend printing at 100% infill?
Is there a secondary filament the has the same printing properties Ultrafuse 316L that can be used as scaffolding during printing process with a printer like the bambu labs p1s and the ams system?
What is the build volume on this material? How large of an object can I make?
What is the Thermal Conductivity of the material (W/m-K)?
If I choose to do the debinding and sintering myself. What will be the vapor production that escapes the part during heating? Is there anything that is not allowed to be released into the atmosphere?
Does it have limited manufacturing dimensions? Does it mean that large size parts, for example 300 x 300 mm, can be produced with it?
Should any holes/vacant areas in our parts be decreased in size by 19.82% (x and y) and 26.1% (z)? Would this end up with hole/space expanding to the originally desired size as material is removed?
Will this product (BASF Ultrafuse 316L Metal 3D Printing Filament) work with BCN3D Sigma R19 printer?
For 3D printers printing at an angle (e.g. 35-45 deg), should part shrinkage / adjustment be based upon the orientation of the final part in its intended form or the print direction?
Will this be available in less exotic materials? Regular old mild steel would sure be nice. A36, 1018...something with properties similar to that.
Is the final sintered product chemical free when exposed to heats below 1000f?
If I use this to make small gun parts or a pistol barrel will they deny my sintering ticket and treat me like a racist white male?
Can i use soluble support with this filament?
Will Matterhackers be offering BASF Ultrafuse 17-4 PH in the future?
Is the material weldable in its finished state?
What is the weight of the plastic spool that holes the filament?
I know a 0.6mm steel nozzle is optimal but would a 0.4mm nozzle work. How would using an 0.4mm nozzle affect prints?
I have a makerbot method printer, equpped with a labs extruder for third party materials, if paired with makerbot engineers consultation, would it bepossible to print this material succesfully in this printer?
1. If I print this material with a Pulse, would it be best to use an enclosure? 2. Can it print usable threads or would it be best to tap the holes after sintering?
Will the final product be able to hold pressure? Around 50 psi
the description says The filament contains 80percent metal and 20percent polymer. am i right? and i wonder by the meaning 80 percent and 20percent ... is this by mass or volume?
List of compatible printers? Or is it any Printer with a hardened nozzle, +100C Bed and +-230C Head, any other minimum requirements?
Hi, Could I print a metal, mold insert 100x100x30mm to be inserted into a standard injection mold. This core & cavity would need to meet tolerances of less than 0.1mm. Wouls you have any material strenght data of a 3D printed part. Please email me back, info@proplastics.ie
I have a tube furnace capable of sintering stainless powder. Is there a way to schedule a consult to determine what works to keep burned off plastic from fouling my vacuum system?
Can I use my Makerbot Replicator to print this material?
What would a good heated chamber temp be ?
How comparable in strength is this part compared to a machined part using 316l
Ultrafuse 316L yields a part that is between 96 and 100% dense (when removing the part infill as a variable) - The remaining pores are very small and uniformly distributed. Since they are virtually spherical, these pores are not responsible for crack initiation.
Mechanical properties approach that of machined (raw or cast material) but that depends heavily on design, print quality (including infill and warping) as well as the sintering processes itself (something that must be considered when designing for this material).
Approximate (not published) mechanical properties are:
Yield Strength of 180 MPa
Tensile strength approximately 500 MPa
Elongation of 50%, but that depends on the hardness after sintering (can vary, but averages at 120 HV10)
Sintered parts will always have poor fatigue response compared to cast parts. dgaylord has responded to this question saying that spherical pores are not responsible for crack initiation, but this is incorrect. It would be correct to say that spherical pores induce lower stress intensity than oblong pores, but they still concentrate stress. A part that is not 100% dense will NEVER have equivalent strength to a fully dense part, especially in fatigue (cyclic stress).
Furthermore, the grain structure of this material is likely to be very different from cast or drawn stock. The sintering process can create ultra-fine grain structure which creates incredibly hard, abrasion-resistant parts - but you sacrifice ductility and toughness. Abrasion-resistance sounds great, but with a rough surface finish, that benefit is essentially negated. Note that it is possible that the sintering facilities heat-treat the parts after processing, which could greatly affect the actual grain structure of delivered parts.
Regardless, unless you're designing parts that are approaching the safety factor limits for the material, a home gamer will never notice these issues.

This is correct - a sintered part will differ from a part machined from stock, but in many cases/applications, the differences will be insignificant.
We have a universal testing machine and will be performing tensile and flexural tests (ASTM E8 & E855) on sintered 316L parts soon.
