Innovation is not a, but the cornerstone of colorFabb. Our brand new filament varioShore TPU is the latest colorFabb development. With varioShore TPU we have created a filament that is flexible in more ways than one:
-
Variable Shore hardness
This material is not limited to one shore hardness, but with the right print settings you can have multiple shore hardnesses – even in one print!
-
Reduced weight and density
We used our LW-PLA technology in this filament as well to reduce weight significantly. Although the weight reduction of varioShore TPU is not as significant as LW-PLA, the weight of the overall print is noticable and can make the difference for prints where weight matters.
-
Soft Touch
Prints that need a soft touch, like handle bars for bikes or shoe soles are no problem anymore with varioShore TPU.

Simplify3D will do the job
To print a part with varying degress of flexibility, I would like to change the print temperature and the layer height throughout the part. Is there already a workflow/tool to do that?
