Both acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and polyethylene terephthalate glycol-modified (PETG) are thermoplastics used in 3D printing, often with high-temperature printers. They can both handle their fair share of stress and strain, can be recycled, and are both susceptible to moisture—although ...
PETG As the name suggests, this plastic is related to the polyethylene terephthalate of water and soda bottles but modified with glycol, hence the added “G.” It has high strength and flexibility, and when compared to the more widely used PLA, it has good temperature resistance. ...

Materials for FDM include polymers such as ABS, PLA, PETG and PEI, which the machine feeds as threads through a heated nozzle. To operate an FDM machine, you first load a spool of this thermoplastic filament into the printer. Once the nozzle hits the desired temperature, the printer feeds...
SLS processis different from SLA in many ways. It uses a box of polymer powder which is heated until the temperature reaches just below the melting point of the material. The printer’s roller deposits around a 0.1mm thick coat of powder on the build platform. ...
Polylactic acid or Polylactideis (PLA)is a biodegradable plastic typically made from corn, sugarcane, or potatoes. It is extracted at a lower temperature with a nozzle temperature of around 180°-230°C (356°- 446°F). And it does not require a heated bed so you can use painter’s tap...
