Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) and thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) are popular materials for 3D printing, offering flexibility and durability. TPEs are softer and more flexible, while TPUs are more rigid. Both have advantages and disadvantages, with TPEs being less expensive and easier to recycle, and TPUs offering better chemical resistance and dimensional stability. Alternatives include thermoplastic copolyester (TPC), silicone elastomers, and thermoplastic styrene (TPS) for TPE, and polylactic acid (PLA) and polyether block amide (PEBA) for TPU.
