What are the commonly used 3D printer materials?

 The rise and development of 3D printing technology is inseparable from the development of 3D printing materials. There are various types of 3D printing technologies, such as SLS, SLA, and FDM. The printing materials of each printing technology are different. SLA usually uses 3D printer resin, and FDM uses 3D printer filament.

For 3D printing, consumables are an important factor in the success of printing. The 3D printing technology itself is not complicated, but the consumables of the 3D printer must be specially treated, and the curing reaction speed of the material is also very demanding. The most popular 3D printer material on the market now are 3D printer filament and 3D printer resin.

Introduction to common 3D printing materials

3D Printer Filament

PLA

Filament is an extruded 3D printing material that usually comes in 1.75mm and 2.85mm sizes. At present, the more popular 3D printing filament types include pla+ filament, abs+ filament, etc.

PLA+ Filament

PLA+ is a very commonly used 3D printing materials. PLA can be degraded and is an environmentally friendly material. PLA+ filament is modified from PLA, which is easy to use and has high versatility.

ABS+ Filament

ABS+ is the favorite 3d printer material for consumer 3D printer users, and is often used to print toys, jewelry pendants, etc. ABS+ materials are usually 3D printer filament coils, which are heated and melted through a 3D printing nozzle.

3D Printer Resin

Hard-Tough Resin

Resin is an important 3D printing materials for SLA light curing molding. Among them, hard resin is a more commonly used 3D printing resin.Since the 3D printer resin has higher molding precision than FDM, it can be used as a biological model or a medical model.

Hard Resin

eSUN hard tough resin is an engineering material,can print rugged and durable parts;Object printed with hard resin can be drilled , which is very suitable for mechanical prototypes.

What is the difference between PLA and PLA+ filament?

Image
 PLA (Polylactic Acid) and PLA+ (PLA Plus) are both types of  3D printer filament  commonly used in the field of additive manufacturing. While they share similarities, there are a few key differences between the two. Material Composition: PLA and PLA+ are both derived from renewable resources, typically made from corn starch or sugarcane. However, PLA+ filament incorporates additives or modifiers to enhance its properties compared to standard PLA. Strength and Durability:  PLA+ filament  is generally stronger and more durable than standard PLA filament. The addition of modifiers, such as impact modifiers or heat-resistant agents, improves the material's resistance to impact, bending, and deformation. This increased strength allows for more robust prints, reducing the likelihood of breakage. Printing Temperature: PLA+ typically has a higher printing temperature compared to standard PLA. While PLA filamentusually prints well around 190-220°C, PLA+ filament usually requires a slightly

What should be paid attention to when choosing 3d printer filament?

Image
 Some high-performance and strong  3d printer filaments  require high-temperature printing, which means that not all desktop devices can use these 3d printing materials to make parts. However, the equipment selected for printing and the skill of the owner/operator play an important role in determining the finished product, including: 1. Item Strength - There are a number of factors that can help or damage a strong and reliable material and print structure. Too low or too high a temperature, insufficient cooling or standing, can make even filaments like PET, ABS and Ultem brittle, split, warp or twist. In addition to 3d printing materials that can withstand stress, under adverse printing conditions, the 3d printer filaments cannot be tightly bound together and the printing will fail. 2. Surface quality – In addition to temperature, there are also cutting settings, nozzle types, and machine configurations (such as material delivery type and speed), which if not set correctly can result i
