TPI (Thermoplastic Polyimide) is a high-performance 3D printing material known for its exceptional thermal stability, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength. It can withstand extreme temperatures, making it ideal for aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications. TPI also offers excellent wear resistance and dimensional stability, but its processing requires high temperatures and specialized equipment.
