Filaflex Foamy is a breakthrough TPU filament featuring dynamic foaming technology, designed to create lightweight, elastic parts with reduced density. This innovative filament includes a unique foaming agent that activates at high temperatures, producing prints with a distinctive foamy texture while enhancing material efficiency. With an initial Shore hardness of 82A that can be adjusted down to 60A, it offers exceptional versatility in hardness and density control.
The material's properties can be fine-tuned through printing parameters, with temperatures of 245-250°C and 60-70% flow rate achieving 1.4-1.6 times volume expansion. This adaptability not only allows for customization of physical properties but also enables color tone variation based on temperature settings. The efficient material usage provides 30-40% more prints per spool, making it ideal for high-volume production while maintaining excellent flexibility and durability.

Filaflex Foamy in Action
Filaflex Foamy
Minimum drying55 °C · 1 h
Before you print
- Dry it: 55 °C for at least 1 hour. Most problems start with moisture.
- Feed it from an external spool (never through an AMS or MMU), ideally with a direct-drive extruder.
Good to know
- Contains a foaming agent: at 100 % flow the line expands about 37.5 %. The profile already reduces the flow to compensate.
- More temperature or less flow = more foaming: the part gets lighter in weight and colour. Aim for a uniform colour across the print.
- For maximum weight reduction, lower the flow in 5 % steps (down to 60 %) and the volumetric speed by 10-15 %.
Temperatures, speeds, retraction, bed and fan depend on your printer and nozzle: they come already tuned in your profile.
