Almost a year after debuting a new partnership with materials company Covestro ( ETR: 1COV ), 3D printer manufacturer voxeljet ( NASDAQ: VJET ) announced that it will now offer on-demand 3D printed parts made from a jointly developed thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). The flexible material, which is characterized by its durable elasticity, damping properties, and high-impact protection, was made to be used with voxeljet's High Speed Sintering (HSS) process, which combines existing additive technologies selective laser sintering and binder jetting for volume production of plastic components as a viable alternative to injection molding.
