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.
