Flexible TPU filament for soft, durable functional prints

Unveil Form ShoeFlex 9075A is a beige 1.75 mm TPU filament designed for flexible 3D printing and shoe model production. The 90 Shore A material profile delivers parts that bend, absorb bumps, and handle repeated handling better than rigid everyday filaments.

The 0.75 kg spool format suits makers, prototyping workflows, and short-run production of soft parts. ShoeFlex 9075A is also identified as easy to print for beginners, making it suitable for users who need a softer printed result without moving to a rigid material.

Key features of Beige ShoeFlex 9075A

• Flexible TPU material: Produces parts that bend instead of cracking under normal use.
• 90 Shore A hardness: Balances softness and structure for functional flexible parts.
• Prints into softer parts: The printed model hardness is 75A, and the material softens as it prints.
• 1.75 mm filament size: Fits the most common desktop FDM/FFF filament format.
• Controlled filament diameter: Material control keeps filament diameter within ±0.03 mm.
• Beige colour: Useful for footwear concepts, wearables, neutral-toned product parts, and visual mock-ups.
• 0.75 kg spool: Practical for prototyping, material testing, and application-specific printing.

Benefits for flexible 3D printed parts

TPU is well suited to parts that need elasticity, abrasion resistance, and a degree of shock absorption. Compared with rigid filaments, TPU is better for living flexibility, squeeze-friendly designs, and components that need to conform slightly during use.

ShoeFlex 9075A is especially relevant for printed items where comfort, grip, or resilience matters. Flexible filament also works well for parts that must tolerate vibration, repeated handling, or light deformation in service.

Use cases for 90A TPU filament

• Footwear prototyping: Insoles, pads, heel supports, and flexible concept components.
• Shoe model printing: A strong fit for applications where a soft printed result is required.
• Protective parts: Corner guards, bumpers, sleeves, and anti-scratch contact points.
• Soft-touch accessories: Grips, straps, tabs, and wearable add-ons.
• Functional workshop parts: Gaskets, vibration-damping feet, seals, and flexible spacers.
• Product development: Testing fit and function for parts that need compliance rather than full rigidity.

What to expect from TPU printing

Flexible TPU generally prints best at slower speeds than PLA or PETG. A well-controlled filament path, moderate temperatures, and dry material help the filament feed smoothly and reduce stringing.

For users looking for a 1.75 mm TPU filament for flexible prints or a beige TPU for footwear-style prototypes, ShoeFlex 9075A suits applications where bendability, durability, and a softer finished part matter more than stiffness.
