Description
This is a description of the Filabot PCTPE175 Taulman Pctpe 1.75" Filament Diameter White. This filament is made of a chemical co-polymer of highly flexible nylon and TPE (thermoplastic elastomer). This combination of polymers was specifically designed to work with current FFF 3D Printers, allowing anyone to print parts with the added durability of nylon polymers and the flexibility of TPE. This filament has the smooth lustrous texture of nylon, the added flexibility of a rubber-like TPE, and the high durability and non-delaminating benefits of all Taulman3D Printing materials.
PCTPE stands for "Plasticized Copolyamide TPE" or a chemical co-polymer of highly flexible nylon and TPE (thermoplastic elastomer). PCTPE has several unique features that allow any user to print a highly flexible part with the added durability of our nylon polymers. This combination of polymers was developed specifically to allow anyone using current FFF 3D Printers to print parts from durable prosthetics to complete cosplay wearable outfits, cell phone enclosures as well as highly flexible utility/industrial parts. The flexibility of PCTPE means that the end parts will have the smooth lustrous texture of nylon, the added flexibility offered by a rubber like TPE, yet maintain the high durability and non-delaminating benefits of all taulman3D Printing materials.
