Carbon EPU 45 is an energy-damping elastomer for Carbon DLS printers, with 290% elongation at break and a Shore A 77 hardness.
Carbon EPU 45 is an energy-damping elastomer for Carbon DLS printers, with 290% elongation at break and a Shore A 77 hardness.
Carbon describes its damping performance and printability as exceptional, which suits parts that absorb shock and vibration.
