Polymers in 3D Printing


Polymers are macromolecules made of many rehashing subunits called monomers. These monomers are coordinated by covalent bonds where atoms share electrons being a strong union. The procedure to deliver a polymer is known as polymerization reaction. Thermoplastic polymers are really important in Additive Manufacturing. Thermoplastics are polymers which relax when they are warmed and harden as they cool. These polymers are utilized for plastic 3D prints, prominently Selective Laser Sintering (SLS). There are a few prominent thermoplastics that can be utilized with this procedure, delivering a variety of results depending on their base properties.


  • Polylactic Acid (PLA)
  • Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)
  • High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS)
  • PolyAmide (PA)
  • Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE)
