Filament type
Is there a filament that could replicate the crushability of an aluminum can? Possibly a semi flexible filament that shows ripples like a soda can when stepped on?

TPU is the only one that comes to mind. Start with 95A and go down from there.

Yeah but no, elastomers stretch, a lot, which won't help with creases, plus any deformation is reversible. I know because I simulated many things.

No, elasticity of Al is 70GPa. For the thermoplastics it's like 3, it'll bend, it'll break.
