CREAMELT TPU-R Filament 1,75mm grey

CREAMELT® TPU-R
FLEXIBLE FILAMENT FOR 3D PRINTING , 100% MADE FREOM RECYCLED SKI BOOTS

CREAMELT® TPU-R is an elastic filament for 3D printers, 100% made from recycled ski boots. The material is based on thermoplastic polyurethan witch is used for the main cover of ski boots. To reuse the material, old ski boots are collected and disassembled by persons with a disability at ARGO workshop in Davos. After chemical analysis and color sorting, the collected plastic is shredded, remelted and extruded to new 3D filaments.

Because TPU-R is made of 100% recycled material, some minimal differences in printing and color properties are possible between individual spools.

CREAMELT® TPU-R gives you the ability to design and print durable elastic objects made from recycled materials and is a sustainable alternative to virgin material.
