Additive manufacturing materials
Polymers
Polylactic acid
Biodegradable, good tensile strength, brittle, low melting temp,
Fused Deposition Modelling: it works by melting the plastic and the building it layer by layer. It is used for 3D printing, package, textiles.
Polyamides
Properties: biodegradable, UV Resistance, high tensile strength
It is used to make textiles, automotive, electronics, and packaging.
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene
high tensile strength, impact resistance, heat deflection temperature, lightweight
Fused Deposition Modelling: thermoplastics in FDM, used 3D printing technology, it works by melting the plastic and the building it layer by layer. Its filament form allows for easy extrusion and layer deposition. It is used to make LEGO, automotive parts, 3D printing.
Metals
Aluminium
Properties: Lightweight, Malleable, Ductile, Good conductor of heat and electricity
Powder bed fusion: A laze melts a fine layer of aluminium powder building it up layer by layer .It is used to make automotive and aerospace componence, engine componence, structural parts and heat exchangers
Steal
High tensile strength, ductile, heat resistant, corrosion resistant ( stainless steel )
Powder bed fusion : A laze melts a fine layer of steel powder and builds it up layer by later. It is used to make complex geometries for building and structures.
Titanium
Properties: Hard, High strength, Ductile, Heat resistant
Powder bed fusion: A laze melts a fine layer of titanium powder building it up layer by layer. It is used to make aerospace componence like turbine blades and brakes is well as medical implants like hips.
Silver
