Market demand for 3D printing & 3D printers continues to expand, with a wide range of industries from Medicine to Aerospace adopting 3D printing in their operations.

This market expansion & the need to cater diverse product & design requirements across industries has resulted in a host of new 3D printing materials to be discovered.

Plastics offer the advantage of multiple applications for products from ranging from utensils, toys & action figures to household fixtures.

Polysastic Acid or PLA filaments are eco-friendly, as they are sourced form natural products.

PVA & PC however do not offer the range of applications provided by PLA or ABS due to lower strength & are often low-cost alternatives.

Resins are also used as 3D printing materials, but have less flexibility & strength as compared to plastics.
