Orange TPU filament for flexible, durable 3D printed parts
Unveil Form ShoeFlex 9075A is a 1.75mm TPU filament in orange, supplied on a 0.75kg spool for FDM/FFF 3D printing. The material is designed for printed parts that need elasticity, abrasion resistance, and better impact absorption than rigid plastics.
With a Shore hardness of 90A/75D, ShoeFlex 9075A sits in a practical range for functional flexible printing. The filament can bend and recover while still maintaining structure for real-use parts, prototypes, and wear-resistant components.
Key features of ShoeFlex 9075A TPU filament
- Flexible TPU material: Suitable for parts that need stretch, bend, cushioning, or vibration damping.
- 90A/75D hardness: Balances flexibility with shape retention for functional components.
- 1.75mm diameter: Fits the most common desktop FDM/FFF filament format.
- 0.75kg spool size: A practical quantity for prototyping, iterative design work, and short-run production.
- Orange colour: Useful for high-visibility parts, colour-coded assemblies, and visually distinct prototypes.
- Good durability for active use: TPU is widely chosen for parts exposed to repeated handling, friction, and impact.
Why makers choose TPU for functional prints
TPU is preferred when PLA, PETG, or other rigid filaments would be too brittle or too stiff for the job. Flexible filament is well suited to printed parts that need grip, compression, or protection without cracking under repeated movement.
ShoeFlex 9075A is especially relevant for projects where surface contact and resilience matter, including soft-touch interfaces, pads, sleeves, and footwear-related development work.
Common use cases for 90A TPU filament
- Footwear and wearable prototyping: Print flexible test parts, cushioning elements, and fit-check components.
- Protective parts: Make bumpers, edge guards, sleeves, and covers that absorb impact.
- Grip and contact surfaces: Produce handles, pads, anti-slip features, and tool accessories.
- Seals and dampening parts: Create gaskets, shock-absorbing features, and vibration-reducing components.
- Functional prototypes: Test geometry and movement in flexible mechanical or consumer product designs.
Practical printing benefits
Flexible TPU filament is most useful when the printed part needs to deform in use and return to shape. The orange ShoeFlex 9075A formulation gives designers and makers a material option for visible, durable parts where flexibility is part of the design requirement rather than an afterthought.
