CoexFlex™ 30D TPE (Thermoplastic Copolyester Elastomer, or TPC) is an industrial-grade engineering filament designed to provide exceptional rubber-like elasticity without the structural limitations and printing headaches often associated with standard flexible materials. Proudly made in the USA, CoexFlex™ combines the smooth, high-stretch performance of TPU with faster printing velocities and significantly enhanced thermal, structural, and chemical resistance profiles.
This is Natural CoexFlex™ 30D—a clean, semi-translucent, unpigmented elastomeric filament that allows for a minimalist, raw aesthetic in your flexible prints. Featuring a soft 30D Shore hardness rating, it is specifically formulated to flex, bend, stretch, and compress under intense mechanical load while effortlessly returning to its original shape. Thanks to its advanced copolyester matrix, it delivers superior layer-to-layer cross-linking and exceptional abrasion resistance, allowing your functional parts to survive repeated cycles of heavy use where traditional flexible filaments typically fail.
Hardware Configuration Note: CoexFlex™ 30D is engineered to operate on any TPU-capable 3D printer. To ensure uniform material feeding and eliminate potential filament binding, a direct-drive extruder setup is highly recommended.
