The Ultimate Pair: Snapmaker U1 & Siraya Tech Flexibles

 Snapmaker U1’s ability to switch between four independent toolheads in seconds opens up a world of possibilities. Whether you are printing functional prototypes or high-end wearables like shoes, the combination of a precise tool changer and our industry-leading TPU and PEBA filaments ensures professional-grade results every time.

Why This Matters for Your Prints

  • Zero Cross-Contamination: With the U1 toolchanger, your flexible and rigid materials never share a nozzle. This means no color bleeding and no weakened structures.
  • Complex Geometries: Use rigid filaments for supports and our 85A and 95A flexibles for the main body to create parts that were previously impossible to print.
  • Performance-Ready: From shock absorption to high-rebound energy return, our materials are designed for end-use applications.

Featured Filaments for the Snapmaker U1

1. TPU Air: The Lightweight Champion

Our TPU Air is an active-foaming filament that allows you to control the density and hardness of your print by simply adjusting the temperature.

  • Best For: Lightweight drone parts, cushioned grips, and shoes.

  • Key Advantage: Reduce part weight by up to 50% compared to standard TPU.

2. Rebound PEBA 85A: The "Super TPU"

If you need maximum performance, PEBA is the answer. It offers a higher energy return than standard TPU, making it the gold standard for the footwear industry.

  • Best For: Running shoe midsoles, high-impact bumpers, and functional joints.
  • Key Advantage: Exceptional "bounce" and flexibility even in extreme cold.
