What is flexible filament?

Flexible filament is the collective name used for the filament types TPE and TPU. 3D prints of these filament types are soft and rubbery, but at the same time very strong, making the application possibilities endless. It is available in different colours, hardwearing and is widely used in industrial, medical and commercial sectors.
