3D printing has revolutionized the manufacturing industry by enabling the creation of complex designs with ease. One crucial element of 3D printing is the filament, which is the material used to build physical objects. This post will explore five popular 3D printing filaments: PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, and nanodiamond-infused PLA. We will delve into their […]
What is ASA Filament? ASA filament (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate) is an amorphous, synthetic thermoplastic that works best in material extrusion printing. Since it’s a high-impact material, you can produce functional parts for automotive applications, electronics, tooling, and more. ASA filament has high weather and UV resistance, making it great for outdoor applications. Even though this […]
PETG Data Sheet, Description & Applications Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol, known as PETG or PET-G, is a thermoplastic polyester that delivers significant durability, chemical resistance, and formability for manufacturing. PETG is an adaptation of PET (Polyethylene terephthalate), where the ‘G’ stands for Glycol. In addition, it is added at a molecular level to offer different chemical […]
What is PLA? PLA or Polylactic Acid is a range of unique bio-plastics. It is both bio-based and biodegradable. Polylactic Acid, commonly known as PLA, is one of the most popular materials used in desktop 3D printing. It is the default filament of choice for most extrusion-based 3D printers. It can be printed at a […]
