TPE 88A Virgo

Starting from 38,95 

The TPE 88A is an ultra-flexible filament designed for 3D printing applications requiring flexibility, elasticity and fatigue resistance. Its hardness Shore 88A makes it one of the softest materials in the range, close to a soft rubber. It is ideal for creating deformable, shock-absorbing parts, or parts subjected to repeated dynamic stress.

Key features

  • ⚙️ Shore hardness 88A

    Very high flexibility, perfect for reproducing soft, elastic and shock-absorbing parts.

  • 🔁 Up to 500% elongation

    Excellent elasticity with no breakage or permanent deformation, even after several stretching cycles.

  • 🔥 Thermal resistance up to 100°C

    Suitable for most standard operating environments.

  • 💧 Waterproofing and chemical resistance

    Waterproof and resistant to oils, greases and light chemicals.

  • 🧩 Optimized printing

    Recommended for use with Direct Drive for smooth filament flow.

    Possible in Bowden with appropriate settings (reduced speed, minimum retraction).

Recommended applications

Sleeves, joints, ergonomic handles, soles, flexible hinges, shock absorbers, anti-vibration protectors or functional parts requiring deformation and perfect springback.

Why choose TPE / TPU for your 3D printing projects?

A strong, flexible filament

The TPU / TPE Francofil is a flexible filament with excellent elasticity. Ideal for parts requiring flexibility and durability, it resists impact, abrasion and repeated twisting. It's the perfect choice for creating functional objects such as gaskets, soles, protections or shock-absorbing mechanical parts.

2. Solid, practical prints

Thanks to its optimal adhesion and good mechanical resistance, TPU / TPE enables us to produce parts that are both robust and flexible. Its ability to retain its properties even after deformation makes it indispensable for demanding applications, while offering a meticulous surface finish.

3. A versatile material for your technical needs

Unlike PLA or PETG, TPU / TPE offers real added value in areas where flexibility is essential. It opens up new possibilities for printing functional prototypes, technical objects and flexible spare parts.
