It is reported that NinjaFlex has 12 colors, can produce a variety of elastic impressions, can be stretched to absorb multiple impacts without degradation.
 
Thermoplastic polyurethane bridges rubber and plastic and offers a new dimension to printing for a range of applications that are not possible with simple polylactic acid or copolyester. Even if it is possible, the finished product is not as effective as thermoplastic polyurethane.
 
The main commercial range for this material includes seals, plugs, textiles, hoses and other functional parts that require resilience to perform well. Because of its high tension, it is not easy to change the strength, wear resistance, and contact with the oil surface is not easy to damage, which is the traditional disadvantage of rubber. It is also easy to recycle and relatively environmentally friendly, which is an increasingly important factor in today's era.
 
All of these unique advantages make it the darling of the automotive and medical fields, as these two areas often require a large number of gaskets and hoses. Because of its durability and flexibility, it is also a very popular shoe material. It is not surprising that it is well used in rubber boats and other inflatable objects.
 
Jonathan Schwartz, founder and product operations officer at Voodoo, said: “We are excited that thermoplastic polyurethanes have allowed us to expand our market by 50%. I think we will witness many new creative applications of thermoplastic polyurethanes that are realized through our services. In the past few months We have been testing the application of thermoplastic polyurethane fibers in 3D and finding a way to make this material more popular and more reliable."
