This means the material can be printed at low flow rates (60-70%), to compensate the active foaming, which in return gives very soft printed parts. Between 190-200C the material can be printed without foaming, resulting in different haptics and harder prints compared to foamed samples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PtYaaBtm3XQ?si=6eoXsmc7lCKHtn7T\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom shore hardness 92A(unfoamed) to shore 55A (maximum foamed).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeveloped in co-operation with Lubrizol, varioShore TPU is a material ideally suited for printing cosplay parts for instance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt colorFabb we have a well equipped 3d printing studio with a lot of popular 3d printers.
