Carbon FPU 50 is a semi-rigid, impact, abrasion and fatigue resistant resin for Carbon DLS printers, used for parts that take repeated stress, such as living hinges and friction fits.
Carbon FPU 50 is a semi-rigid, impact, abrasion and fatigue resistant resin for Carbon DLS printers, used for parts that take repeated stress, such as living hinges and friction fits.
Its elongation at break of 280% and Shore D hardness of 71 give it a tough but flexible character. Carbon marks FPU 50 as limited availability.
