Perhaps something like
DeleteCases[Tuples[Range[3], 3], {a_, a_, a_} | {a_, _, a_}]
will do well enough for you. But note, doing Tuples[Range[3]]
generates all possible triplets with the integers from 1 to 3,
including those you don't want. So, if your range of integers is
large, this method may not be satisfactory as it will consume
quite a bit of memory. It is a brute force rather than efficient method.
