3D printing materials

3D printing materials are substances used to create three-dimensional objects layer by layer. Common materials include plastics like PLA (polylactic acid) and ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), which are affordable and easy to use. Metals, like titanium, are used for stronger, more durable items. Resin is another material for high-detail prints, often used in jewelry or prototypes. Each material has unique properties, such as strength, flexibility, and temperature resistance, allowing for various applications from prototypes to functional parts and artistic creations. The choice of material depends on the desired outcome and use of the printed object.
