Because of its excellent properties and relatively low price, PETG is commonly used in 3D printing. It is a good engineering-grade material that can be used in place of ABS. It also has less of a tendency to warp, which means it's easier to print accurate parts. PETG filament properties...
For making light, strong parts, carbon fiber filament is an ideal material for 3D printing. The tiny fibers are added to nylon, ABS, PETG, PLA, and other base materials to deliver more strength. These specialized fibers are prone to clogging and oozing and they’re also abrasive, so you ...
The first thing to realize is that plastic 3D prints are great as proof of concept parts. You can design a part print it out over night and know immediately if adjustments are needed before the expense of a metal or solid plastic part. I'm not convinced that trying to do filter type t...
One of the key advantages of FDM (both desktop and industrial) is the technology’s wide range of materials. This includes commodity thermoplastics such as PLA and ABS, engineering materials like PA, TPU and PETG, and high-performance thermoplastics, including PEEK and PEI. PLA filament is th...
This is also another common 3D printing material that uses plastic resin as the raw material. It has a low shrinkage property and is highly chemical resistant. It also offers a faster printing process compared to printing with a filament. ...
PETG filament properties: Tensile Strength: 38-44 MPa Flexural Strength: 75-79MPa Nylon filament Nylon for 3D printing is commonly found in several forms: PA6 and PA6/66, which are stiffer versions of Nylon, and PA 12, which is a flexible type of Nylon. Nylon has helpful qualities that ...
