TPU Flexible 3D Printing Filament
  • TPUs are highly resistant to chemical agents, wear-proof and have good elastic comeback.
  • Flexmark 7 = 70 Shore A, the most flexible, but it requires a precise calibration of the printer.
  • Flexmark 8 = 80 Shore A, a good mixture of flexibility and stiffness and easier to print.
  • Flexmark 9 = 90 Shore A, the stiffest of all the Flexs and lets you print as usual.
