A plant-based biodegradable thermoplastic polyester. Offers high ease of printability and is FDA approved. Solvent weldable (dichloromethane). It has a low melting temperature and degrades under UV radiation. Machinability can be difficult; however it offers user-friendly post-processing such as sanding and painting. Comparatively low strength. Offers a variety of colors. Biodegradable into lactic acid.
Thermoplastic polymer known for its toughness, impact resistance, and ability to withstand high temperatures. With a long-standing position in the 3D printing industry, it remains a popular choice thanks to its low cost and its mechanical properties. ABS releases a strong odor during printing.
A carbon fiber reinforced composite that offers the heat and chemical resistance of the PET matrix while offering a boost in hardness and mechanical stress. It offers great dimensional stability with minimal warping and shrinkage. Features low moisture absorption.
The successor to PET. A thermoplastic polyester aiming to provide the printability ease of PLA and the durability and temperature resistance of ABS while offering minimized warping and odor during printing. The ‘G’ in PETG stands for glycol, and its addition allows for increased strength durability and impact resistance. Many PETG filaments are FDA approved. It can be printed in highly transparent formulations. Printed parts are water proof and chemical resistance.
An amorphous thermoplastic developed as a UV-resistant alternative to ABS. Considered an engineering plastic due to its higher resistance to harsh environments and durability. Known for its high impact and temperature resistance. Additive manufacturing of ASA requires several considerations during printing for successful results, as it is susceptible to warping, temperature changes, and produces potentially dangerous fumes due to its styrene content.
Nylon 12 is among the most widely used plastics in additive manufacturing well known for its toughness, tensile strength, impact strength and ability to flex without fracture (strain resistance). It also offers high chemical resistance and flowability, which allows for precise layer application. Allows good mechanical post-processing. Strong frictional properties. FDA approved.
