Polylactic Acid (PLA)

Produced from renewable resources, this aliphatic polymer is known for its biodegradability and is the most commonly used 3D-printing plastic. It has a melting temperature of 180 degrees Celsius and a tensile strength of 37MPa.

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)

ABS is an amorphous polymer consisting of three polymers (acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene), with a glass transition temperature of 105 degrees Celsius and a tensile strength of 2.7 MPa. 3D printing with ABS results in a matte finish.

Glycol-modified Polyethylene Terephthalate (PETG)

3D printed PETG products can be recycled, making PETG an eco-friendly option for disposable products. It has a melting point of 260 degrees Celsius and a tensile strength of 28MPa.

Nylon

Nylon is suitable for applications where high impact resistance and durability is required. It has a melting point of 250 degrees Celsius and an impressive tensile strength of 4MPa.
