3D Printing Materials

The 3D printers can be divided into multiple categories using a variety of parameters including material requirements. In addition to selecting the right 3D printer, the manufacturers must choose the best-suited 3D printing material for the application. While 3D printing a product or model the manufacturers have the option to choose from a wide range of 3D printing materials. They can always compare some of the commonly used materials in 3D printing according to the precise needs of the application.

PLA 3D Printing Material: The plastic-based materials are used widely in 3D printing due to their durable and flexible nature. The manufacturers use a variety of plastic-based 3D printing materials. But the most commonly used types of plastic 3D printing materials are polylactic acid (PLA) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). As a form of thermoplastic, ABS can resist shock. The manufacturers can use ABS in both liquid and powder forms. On the other hand, PLA is a form of biodegradable 3D printing material which is produced from renewable raw materials. ABS is stronger and more durable than PLA. But PLA is less expensive than ABS.

Resin 3D Printing Material: The resin 3D printing material is prepared as a liquid solution by combining ingredients like monomers and oligomers. The 3D printers produce three-dimensional items by curing and solidifying the liquid resin by applying laser lights. As the printer delivers UV laser to the resins, the 3D printing material will harden through the photopolymerization process. Manufacturers prefer resin to other 3D printing materials while 3D printing items with the highest level of accuracy and excellent surface finish. The wider availability of resin helps manufacturers to reduce both build time and 3D printing costs.

Powders 3D Printing Material: The manufacturers have the option to choose from a wide range of plastic and metal powder 3D printing materials. The 3D printers produce solid items by melting each type of powder material through continuous exposure to laser pulses. The manufacturers must remember that the powder 3D printing materials are different from each other primarily in the category of properties. Many manufacturers opt for plastic or polymer powders to 3D printing items with complex geometries. But they opt for nylon powders to produce three-dimensional items that are stronger and durable.

They believe in customizing and optimizing the 3D printing process by understanding the client’s requirements clearly. After understanding the nature and needs of the item to be 3D printed, they recommend the right 3D printing material to the client. Also, they help the client to understand the pros and cons of every 3D printing material with similar properties. Aurum3D has already formed partnerships with leading filament manufacturers to get the 3D printing material required by the application on demand.

Each 3D printer supports plastic, resin, or powders. Hence, the manufacturers need to finalize the 3D printing material before selecting a 3D printer. They must keep in mind the nature and requirements of the item to the 3D printed while comparing the 3D printing materials. Some 3D printing materials come with similar properties. At the same time, the materials differ from each other in the category of properties. In addition to comparing the properties of the 3D printing materials, the manufacturers also need to consider the diameter of the 3D printer filament.
