Zortrax Z-FLEX offers excellent flexibility and durability

Delivers high elasticity and impact resistance

Zortrax Z-FLEX Filament Black 1.75mm. 800g. is a flexible 3D printing filament designed to provide excellent elasticity, durability, and impact resistance. It is ideal for creating functional prototypes, wearables, and parts that require bending, stretching, and compression without losing shape. With a Shore hardness of 85A, Z-FLEX offers a perfect balance between flexibility and strength, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The filament is easy to print with and provides consistent results, ensuring smooth, high-quality prints that maintain their flexibility over time.

Z-FLEX

Z-FLEX is a thermoplastic polyester elastomer that can be 3D printed at a relatively fast rate of 45mm/s. The filament has great interlayer adhesion and dimensional tolerance falling below +/- 0,02 mm. Z-FLEX is elastic, can bend without breaking, and is resistant to various chemicals including gasoline, ethyl alcohol, butane, and carbon monoxide.

Compared to Z-SEMIFLEX, this filament is a little more elastic and has more rubber-like texture. Besides being able to withstand temperatures as high as 70°C, it can maintain its integrity in low temperatures reaching -40°C. Z-FLEX is perfect for 3D printing parts intended to be bent frequently like tires, elastic hinges, or gaskets.

Applications

• Elastic hinges

• Gaskets

• Rubber-like figurines

• Prototypes of tires

• Bands

• Bracelets

• Phone cases

A shock absorber dust cover. A shock absorber dust cover 3D printed with Z-FLEX to obtain both flexibility and high chemical resistance of the part.

Fast extrusion

Z-FLEX can 3D print at a relatively high rate of 45mm/s. This makes this filament faster to 3D print with than most flexible materials.

Low temperature resistance

Z-FLEX can maintain its integrity in temperatures as low as -40°C. It’s perfect for models intended for very cold environments.

Chemical resistance

Z-FLEX is resistant to various chemicals including gasoline, ethyl alcohol, butane, and carbon monoxide. It’s great meant to work in industrial settings.
