3D printing plastics refer to a diverse range of materials made from synthetic or semi-synthetic compounds that are used in the 3D printing process. These materials are malleable and can be used to create three-dimensional objects through various 3D printing technologies, such as Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), Stereolithography (SLA), and Digital Light Synthesis (DLS). 3D printing plastics are modified polymers used to create objects using 3D printing technology. With developments in composite grades, 3D printing plastics have been increasingly used to manufacture high-end components for the aerospace & defense and healthcare industries. 3D printing plastics are generally available in filament, powder, and liquid forms. They can be classified into different types, such as photopolymer, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polylactic acid (PLA), and polyamide.
