Single-Part Elastomer with High Material Stiffness
EPU Pro 90 is a single-part, dual-cure high-performance elastomer material that can enable lightweighting of lattice designs and the production of complex geometries due to its stiffness and strength while printing. With print speeds up to 70% faster than prior Carbon elastomers and an extended pot life, EPU Pro 90 offers greater design freedom for curvatures, large parts, and delicate structures.
As a single-part material, EPU Pro 90 simplifies the production workflow by eliminating the need for mixing. It also improves efficiencies and lowers manufacturing costs by enabling resin reuse and reclamation in post-processing. EPU Pro 90 is compatible with solvent-free post processing and melt-processed workflows. Now available in commercial 3.6L containers and 180L drums, EPU Pro 90 further expands Carbon’s portfolio of high-performance, tunable elastomers for high-performance products.
Greater Design Freedom
The stiffness and strength of EPU Pro 90 unlocks more intricate designs and details like overhangs and complex lattices.
Ease of Use & Efficiencies
Providing dual-cure capabilities in a single-part format eliminates mixing and reduces material waste by enabling an extended pot life.
Faster Print Speeds
EPU Pro 90 can print the same build of challenging parts up to 70% faster than EPU 40 on printers with force feedback.
Example Applications
Comfort & Performance Seating
EPU Pro materials can print structures with a wide range of mechanical responses – from small, soft structures to very stiff designs resulting in a range of cushioning behaviors. Its longer pot life and higher print strength also enables the printing of larger, more delicate parts as well as curved surfaces that offer a new level of control of weight distribution, breathability, and support.
Footwear
The EPU Pro platform enables lighter weight footwear designs that offer an incredible range of performance, cushioning, and unique aesthetics with outstanding finishes. A range of unique haptics and performance properties can be tuned to prioritize comfort or performance demands.
Entertainment
EPU Pro 90’s extended pot life and ease of use make it ideal for one-off custom parts in the entertainment industry, where soft touch, fine features, and striking aesthetics are required.
