Want to print foam parts? Try Compound varioShore, a TPU-based compound that includes a blowing agent.
Compound varioShore has some distinctive features:
- Variable Shore hardness, adjustable during printing
- Reduced weight and density due to the controlled expansion process.
- Soft touch (soft touch) for a pleasant feel.
The material allows the density to be changed by varying the temperature and material flow (speed and layer height).
At temperatures between 200°C and 250°C, the material begins to expand to about 1.4-1.6 times its original volume, reducing the density to 0.7-0.9 g/cm³.
Under this condition, it can be molded with low flux rates (60-70%) to compensate for the active expansion, resulting in very soft parts.
At temperatures between 190°C-200°C, the material does not expand, allowing for stiffer, more compact surfaces, with hardness ranging from Shore 92A (unexpanded) to Shore 55A (highest degree of expansion).
Developed in collaboration with Lubrizol, Compound varioShore is an ideal material for printing large foam parts, combining versatility, lightness and softness in one innovative solution.
