Selecting a 3D printing material to simulate a common thermoplastic, such as nylon or silicone, isn't always that easy or straightforward. You must think critically about the purpose of the part you want to print and its high-priority material requirements.
In this webinar, Formlabs will walk through five important material properties and give their recommendations on popular 3D printing materials to use based on your desired material or application.
Primary Topics:
- Compare 3D printing material properties against ABS, PP, PC, PS, Nylon, Acetal, Ultem, silicone, etc.
- Evaluate material properties like compliance, toughness, or heat deflection temperature
- Learn one of the easiest and highest-quality ways to get metal parts from a polymer 3D printer
- Learn what material to use for end-use consumer products, vacuum forming, or manufacturing jigs
