FusFlex™ TPU-Aero HR80 is a high-resilience, low-hardness, actively foaming flexible TPU material specifically developed for FFF printing technology. By controlling the printing temperature, different extrusion foaming ratios can be achieved, ultimately resulting in varying effects in weight reduction and softness. The surface hardness of FusFlex™ TPU-Aero HR80 printed parts can be controlled within the range of Shore 64A to 80A, with rebound resilience maintained at 48-51%. At the maximum foaming rate, FusFlex™ TPU-Aero HR80 can achieve up to 50% weight reduction compared to ordinary TPU materials, while the printed surface exhibits excellent fabric-like texture.
Product highlights
主动发泡技术
FusFlex™ TPU-Aero HR80 is a flexible TPU material that foams during the printing process. FusRock® utilizes a specialized extrusion processing technique to uniformly distribute inactive foaming agents within the TPU matrix. During printing, the expansion ratio of the foaming components can be freely controlled by adjusting the printing temperature, achieving various degrees of weight reduction and softness to meet diverse application requirements.
高回弹性能
FusFlex™ TPU-Aero HR80, through a special design of soft /hard polymer chain segment ratio, offers higher rebound resilience compared to other TPU foaming filaments. It efficiently converts absorbed impact energy into rebound energy, making it highly suitable for 3D printing various types of sports equipments and industrial cushioning components.
易于打印
FusFlex™ TPU-Aero HR80 avoids the defect of significantly reduced filament hardness after foaming by using a special extrusion processing technique. The unactivated foaming components act as rigid particles uniformly distributed within the TPU matrix, effectively increasing the surface hardness of the FusFlex™ TPU-Aero HR80 filament and reducing printing difficulty.

- 1. TPU materials are prone to absorb moisture when exposed to air. It is recommended to place the FusFlex™ TPU-Aero HR80 filament into a dry box (humidity controlled below 15%) immediately after opening the vacuum aluminum foil packaging. Unused filament should be sealed back in the original aluminum foil packaging.
- 2. For FusFlex™ TPU-Aero HR80 filament that has been exposed to air for a long time, it is recommended to dry the filament in an oven at 70-80°C for 4-6 hours before printing to avoid issues such as bubbles, holes, or stringing caused by moisture.
- 3. Due to the continuous expansion of foaming materials in the hot end chamber, leakage is inevitable during travel movement. Even adjusting retraction distance and speed cannot improve this. It is recommended to disable retraction in the slicing software, print only one model at a time, or use the print-by-part function to reduce stringing and leakage caused by long-distance idle movements and jumps.
- 4. Some of PEI textured or PEI film build plates may exhibit excessive adhesion to TPU materials, avoid forceful removal to prevent base layer damage. Apply a small amount of isopropyl alcohol (＞80%) to the edge regions of the model's base. Wait 10-20 seconds to allow capillary penetration between the model and PEI surface, enabling non-destructive release. Alternatively, use an uncoated stainless steel build plate with a thin layer of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) adhesive for controlled interfacial separation.
