Benefits of 3D Printing
- Design ideas open up possibilities that aren’t available with machine tools.
- Enhanced equipment facilitates more effective processes.
- Companies with 3D printing capabilities attract skilled creators and technologists.
- Lights-out environment for 3D printing.
- FFF (fused filament fabrication) is cheaper than machining for 3D printing.
- The possibilities of 3D printing are energizing for engineers and staff.

Suitable Plastics for 3D Printing
ABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene)
- ABS can tolerate temperatures of up to 80ºC without compromising strength.
- ABS, which is the same used in Lego bricks, is an excellent material for printing strong, temperature-resistant, 3D parts.
- Thin, flexible prints and heavy-duty components from living hinges and surfboard fins to interlocking gear mechanisms are some of the things nylon excels at.
PET (Polyethylene terephthalate)
- PET is a versatile and strong material with great thermal resistance. It is a great material for printing mechanical parts.
- PET is a great material for printing large objects, with minimal distortion.
HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene)
- HIPS is a tough, versatile material that resists heat well. It is a great material for printing mechanical parts.
- Large objects can be printed with HIPS, as it doesn’t warp as much.
