Here are the Types of Filaments to Choose for 3D Printing
The 3D printing filaments are thermoplastics that melt when heated and solidify when cooled. They can also be shaped & molded. The wide variety of these filaments have diverse applications and suffice different printing requirements. The most popular 3D Printing Filaments include the following: · Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) & Polylactic Acid (PLA) · Nylon · High-Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) & Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) Let's have a deeper look at the filaments cited above & their applications to have a better understanding of finding the most suitable ones for your 3D printing requirements: Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) & Polylactic Acid (PLA) ABS & PLA are the most common filaments used for 3D printing. These are available at affordable prices and are durable & non-toxic. When objects are printed, ABS require relatively high melting points than PLA. Moreover, PLA fil...
