Polymer Materials
-
Thermoplastic Plastics
-
Polylactic Acid (PLA): Biodegradable, with a low melting point, no unpleasant odor, relatively weak in strength, and used for models, handicrafts, etc.
-
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS): Durable, elastic, requiring a high printing temperature and emitting an odor during printing, and used for toys, tools, etc.
-
Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol (PETG): Combining the advantages of others, easy to print, with good heat resistance and chemical resistance, and used for food containers, etc.
-
Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU): Good flexibility, excellent elasticity and flexibility, used for insoles, etc., but with a relatively high printing difficulty.
-
Nylon (PA): High in strength and wear resistance, emitting an odor during printing, and used for mechanical parts and tool components.
-
-
Thermosetting Plastics: Such as epoxy resin, etc., with high strength and good fire resistance, suitable for powder laser sintering molding.
-
Photosensitive Resin: Capable of high-precision and complex geometric shape printing, with a smooth surface, but posing potential health risks, and used for micro parts, etc.
-
-
Metal Materials
-
Stainless Steel: With good corrosion resistance, high strength and good toughness, used for mechanical parts and medical devices.
-
Titanium Alloy: High in strength, lightweight, with strong corrosion resistance and good biocompatibility, used for aerospace components and medical implants.
-
Aluminum Alloy: Low in density, with good thermal conductivity and relatively high strength, used for parts in the automotive, aerospace and other fields.
-
-
Ceramic Materials
-
Alumina Ceramic: High in hardness, strength, capable of withstanding high temperatures, wear-resistant and electrically insulating, used for electronic devices, cutting tools, etc.
-
Zirconia Ceramic: With good biocompatibility, high toughness and strength, used for dental restoration and jewelry.
-
-
Biomaterials
-
Biodegradable Polymers: With good biocompatibility and biodegradability, used for tissue engineering scaffolds, etc.
-
Hydroxyapatite: A bioactive ceramic, used for bone tissue repair.
-
Cellular Biomaterials: Used for printing human tissues and organs, still in the research stage.
-
-
Other Materials
-
Gypsum Materials: Low in cost and easy to form, used for models and handicrafts.
-
Starch Materials: Widely sourced, low in cost and biodegradable, but poor in mechanical properties, often used in combination or after modification.
-
Rubber Materials: With good elasticity and flexibility, used for shock-absorbing and sealing parts.
