Screw material extrusion of super soft thermoplastic elastomer for additive manufacturing of inflatables

This study managed to successfully 3D print inflatables using 32 Shore 00 soft thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), granules. This TPE is softer than any previously 3D printed TPE in literature and was achieved by using an in-house developed, desktop screw extruder. The first step involved characterising...
