With the continuous development and application of 3D printing technology, enterprises have increasingly high requirements for 3D printing materials, and the application of materials is increasing. It can be said that the prospects of materials determine the development prospects of additive manufacturing.
There are many types of 3D printing materials, so the selection is flexible. Plastic is a commonly used material in the 3D printing industry.

01. Diversified printing sizes
Nowadays, most 3D printers on the market have particularly high precision and can produce smaller parts. If you need to make larger parts for prototype testing, plastic will be a good solution.

The main process for 3D printing of plastic products is the plastic wire melting extrusion technology (FDM technology), which is reliable, easy to use and maintain.

Large scale industrial grade FDM 3D printers have become one of the projects of interest for many manufacturing enterprises, as they can obtain accurate and customized parts, and are easy to process. At the same time, there are also some irregular parts that are very suitable for plastic 3D printing.
02. Price is one of the advantages of plastic 3D printed parts
Plastic is widely used in all aspects of our lives and is the most common, versatile, and inexpensive material. Therefore, it can easily print multiple plastic 3D printed parts for assembly, making it suitable for small batch production.
By using ABS or PLA materials, you can print out reasonably priced parts.

Based on the variety of 3D printing materials, it can meet the diverse printing needs of enterprises and reduce costs.
03. Higher efficiency compared to traditional injection molding
We know that plastic is one of the earliest materials used in the 3D printing industry, providing an effective method for producing one or more customized design products.

Plastic 3D printing materials are the best choice for the prototype production process. We can easily perform multiple product iterations at a lower price using 3D modeling software, without the need for pre production molds.
Simply upload the 3D printing model file to the 3D printer and perform 3D printing, making the entire process more efficient, fast, and simple.

03. More surface treatment methods can be provided
When using plastic materials for 3D printing model production, we know that the printed model has brackets and fine layer patterns on the surface that need to be removed and polished.
In addition, for users who meet the needs of certain special industries, special 3D printing post-processing work must be carried out, such as polishing, sandblasting, painting, electroplating, printing, laser engraving, and so on.

Plastic 3D printing can be used in the medical industry to create 3D printed models of organs, replace automotive interior parts, print building models, and even in the aerospace industry.
From proof of concept, prototype design to production, plastic 3D printing materials are very useful for every step of the product development process.
