FDM TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) is a versatile 3D printing material known for its rubber-like flexibility and durability. It offers various forms of elasticity, allowing extensive stretching and returning to its original shape, making it ideal for parts like seals, gaskets, and grips. TPE is also suited for applications within the food sector and in medical applications where skin contact is needed. TPE absorbs shocks, resists chemicals and UV light, and is excellent for applications needing high flexibility and resilience.

6 colors

Higher rigidity while maintaining some flexibility. Useful for Mechanical parts, impact-resistant components.

Soft (Shore A61-A70)

7 colors

These materials offer significant flexibility and a soft texture.

Hard (Shore D30-D50)

18 colors

For applications requiring significant rigidity and less flexibility, such as structural parts and stiff enclosures.
