Matte Flexibility - Fast and Precise

MattFlex 40D: The newest material from Fiberlogy for artists and engineers in the area of flexible 3D printing materials (e.g. TPU- or TPE-like filaments).

Unlike the much-appreciated FiberFlex, this filament is distinguished by its matte finish, but like FiberFlex, it is easy to print and allows efficient printing at speeds of up to 60 mm/s without compromising print quality.

The matte finish allows you to achieve an attractive model appearance, especially where a lower gloss is desired.

Special Feature: MattFlex 40D makes it easy to hide layers, giving your print a perfect surface without any need for further processing.

Great looks and ease of printing are not all that MattFlex has to offer. This rubber-like filament is ideal for numerous applications, both domestic and industrial.

• High impact strength (highly desired in flexible prints)
• Elasticity (up to 6x times)
• Compressive resistance (up to 50%)
• Excellent resistance to chemicals and low temperatures make this filament a versatile material for 3D printing
