It is reported that the NinjaFlex has 12 colors, can produce a variety of elastic marks, can stretch to absorb multiple shocks without degradation. Thermoplastic polyurethane bridges rubber and plastic, providing a new size for printing, suitable for various applications that simple polylactic acid or copolyester cannot achieve. Even if possible, the finished product is not as effective as the thermoplastic polyurethane. The main commercial range of this material includes seals, plugs, textiles, hoses and other functional parts that require elasticity in order to function well. Due to its high tension, it is not easy to change the strength, wear resistance, and it is not easy to damage in contact with the oil surface. This is the traditional disadvantage of rubber. It is also easy to recycle and relatively environmentally friendly, which is an increasingly important factor in this day and age. All these unique advantages make it a darling in the automotive and medical fields, because these two fields usually require a lot of gaskets and hoses. Due to its durability and flexibility, it is also a very popular shoe material. It is not surprising that it works well for rubber dinghies and other inflatable objects. JonathanSchwartz, founder and product operating officer of Voodoo, said: "We are very pleased that thermoplastic polyurethane has expanded our market by 50%. I think we will witness many new and creative applications of thermoplastic polyurethanes realized through our services. In the past few months, we have been testing the application of thermoplastic polyurethane fiber in 3D and found a way to make this material more popular and more reliable."
