Performance Comparison
| Parameter | TPU for AMS | TPU 95A HF |
|---|---|---|
| Nozzle Temperature (°C) | 230 | 230 |
| Max Volumetric Speed (mm³/s) | 18 | 12 |
| Print Speed (mm/s) | Up to 238 | Up to 147 |
Test specimens: Diameter 50mm, Height 100mm, Infill 40%
Application Guidelines
TPU print elasticity correlates with Wall Loops and Sparse Infill Density configuration. Higher wall loop count or infill density reduces elasticity; lower values increase elasticity proportionally.

Processing Guidelines
Pre-Print Drying: Pre-use drying essential for enhanced printing quality. TPU for AMS requires drying before use with moisture-free maintenance during printing operations to prevent stringing artifacts.
Drying Specifications: 70°C, 8 hours (blast oven) or 80-90°C, 12 hours (X1 heatbed). Reference: Filament drying documentation.
Storage Protocol: To prevent moisture absorption, utilize airtight storage container with desiccant during printing operations.
