#Where should I take a TPU/FDM tactile geometry concept for responsible early testing?

Hi there! I did a little work on the Rebound material at Formlabs for the New Balance collab back in the day. (I can't say a ton about that specifically, but.)
First thing to think about is the actual use case for this -- a flip-flop sole is very different from a basketball shoe is different from a marathoner's shoe. Which you're trying to build will define some of your requirements, and also who you're gonna test with. If you're building something for yourself, start there. If you want to sell this more broadly, you'll have to go out and start talking to folks to understand where there's a need / willingness to pay.
It's also generally worth it to do some general materials testing overall with coupons, but which tests are useful is also determined by your functional requirements.
