Flexibility with very good impact resistance and thermal insulation
Spectrum S-Flex 85A is a filament based on thermoplastic polyether polyurethane. In the field of additive manufacturing, S-Flex 85A is a material characterized by a relatively easy and trouble-free 3D printing process. Another advantage that allows for a perfect print is the very good adhesion of the first layer of the printed part to the work surface, regardless of whether it is made of glass, steel, plastic, or another material.
Low processing shrinkage and high flexibility significantly reduce the risk of so-called waviness of the edges of manufactured parts. The distinguishing mark in the thread name 85A refers to the material's hardness on the Shore scale and classifies Spectrum S-Flex 85A into the category of hard elastomers. This property, in terms of the 3D printing process, reduces the risk of filament deformation in the feeding system leading the material to the print head. This allows for slightly faster printing compared to other, more compliant elastomers.
