While attending the international AMUG conferences as a platinum sponsor from April 3 to 7 in St Louis, USA, Prodways, a Groupe Gorgé subsidiary, will announce the launch of a new TPU material at the AMUG Conference, April 3 to 7 in St Louis, MO. This thermoplastic polyurethane material will join its range of powders available for use with laser sintering additive manufacturing technology.

This new TPU-70A powder is an elastomer-type material for the laser sintering printing of flexible rubber-type objects for a variety of applications, including bellows, seals, flexible hoses, sports shoe soles and luxury accessories.

TPU material has an excellent elongation at break capacity (over 300%) allowing the printing of ultra-flexible objects with very high levels of precision and resolution. It is also highly resistance to chemical products. It is also durable.

Prodway’s complete powder range for laser sintering is distinguished by very fine granulometry for high-resolution parts and high refresh rate levels, reducing consumption by up to 40% compared to the other powders on the market.

During the international AMUG conference, Prodways will also present its recent “Prodways powered by Farsoon” PromMaker series P range of laser sintering printers, with high thermal stability with optimized mechanical properties, combined with a fully digital, ultra-fast and very high precision laser scanner.
