An Insight into Various Types of Filaments for 3D Printers
What is a Filament for 3D Printers? Filaments are a kind of special category thermoplastics. That undergoes a shape change when heated to the right kind of temperature. This property of thermoplastics or filament for 3D printers allows the 3D printer to carve them into the user’s desired shape before it cools down. Varieties of Filament for 3D Printers Ever since the evolution of 3D printers began, commonly used filament types in 3D printers are ABS and PLA. Moreover, all 3D printers can’t utilise both these filaments. There are a lot of filament varieties that are entering the 3D printer market every day. Below we will discuss some of the most used ones. ABS ABS stands for Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene. It is famous for its good impact resistance at low temperatures and for delivering lightweight 3D prints. It is mostly used in the household appliance sector, in creating boat hulls, decoration pieces, toys. And especially for creating the famous bricks developed by LEGO. ABS is n
