Viscoelastic Materials Viscoelastic materials exhibit both elastic and viscous properties, providing flexibility, energy absorption, and damping. They are ideal for wearable devices, cushioning, and vibration isolation. Viscoelastic filaments, such as TPE or TPU, offer high elongation, impact resistance, and chemical resistance. Proper print settings, including low speed, direct drive extruders, and consistent cooling, ensure accurate extrusion and layer bonding. Advanced formulations provide variable stiffness, softness, or transparency. Viscoelastic materials expand applications in consumer products, medical devices, and automotive components. |
