NinjaFlex® 3D Printing Filament

Flexible Polyurethane Material for FDM Printers
NinjaFlex flexible filament leads the industry with superior flexibility and longevity compared to non-polyurethane mate-
rials. Its consistency in diameter and ovality (roundness) outpaces other polyurethane materials. Made from a specially
formulated thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) material, this patented technology contains a low-tack, easy-to-feed
texture. The result is uniquely flexible, strong prints ideal for direct-drive extruders.

NinjaTek filament is capable of being printed by a variety of printers in a variety of configurations. This specification sheet gives results as they pertain to the defined test standard and specimen details. Different slicing and/or
printing configurations, test conditions, ambient environments, etc. may result in different results.

Impact Strength and Heat Deflection Temperature results were both provided by an accredited university testing laboratory. Specific Gravity and Hardness are innate characteristics of the material. Moisture Absorption, values
associated with the Tensile Strength tests, Melting Point and Glass Transition data were prepared by Fenner Drives, Inc.

NinjaTek makes no warranties of any type, express or implied, including, but no liited to, the warranties of fitness for a partuclar application.
