With its properties, we recommend using PETG filaments for printing products that may experience sudden or sustained stress, such as protective components and mechanical parts. PETG filament is also a good mate
Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is an additive manufacturing process that uses the technique of material extrusion. Also known as fused filament fabrication (FFF), FDM is the most widely used 3D printing technology. How do you design for FDM printing? To achieve the best results, keep FDM’s...
3D printing offers unparalleled freedom when it comes to the appearance of the objects you print. It’s possible to change the color, texture, size, and shape of your print, just by changing what material you use. There is one material property that is often overlooked, however, and that’...
ABS models printed with VXL 90 soluble support material VXL 90 is our all-rounder among the VXL-support materials. It is suitable both for working with PETG and TPU and technical polymers like ABS and ASA. So if you 3D print within the middle-temperature range (below 80°C chamber temperat...
Think of material costs like gas for your car. While not considerable in isolation, over the long-term it will be one of the biggest running costs. For FDM 3D printing,3D printer filamentprices (for an everyday material like PLA or PETG) are around $20 to $50 per kilogram, or $60 ...
Common materials include PLA, ABS, PETG, and TPU. Step 2. Adjust the temperature of the nozzle and heated bed according to the filament's recommendation. It's a good idea to start with the lower end of the recommended range and adjust upwards if needed. Step 3. Further, adjust the ...

Direct Drive/Bowden Extruder:Max nozzle temp 260°C for material versatility. Materials Overview PLA:Beginner-friendly, biodegradable. ABS:Durable but requires higher temperatures. PETG:Balance of strength and ease of use. TPU:Flexible for specialized applications. ...
When you're selecting a 3D printing nozzle, you're deciding how much filament is extruded and how fast, which will naturally produce different results. While a smaller printing nozzle (<0.4 mm) predictably extrudes less material than a larger printing nozzle (>0.4 mm), the impact this will...
allowing customers to scale their production based on their needs. They are suitable for rapid prototyping, education, and functional applications. While often associated with plastic filament, material extrusion 3D printing can handle a variety of materials including polymers reinforced with carbon fiber...
