Are you ready to turn your ideas into reality? Explore the limitless possibilities of 3D printing with AM Manufacturing Solutions

Materials and Filaments

The choice of filament is a critical decision in the world of 3D printing, and it holds immense importance in shaping the final product's properties and characteristics. Think of it as the foundation upon which your 3D-printed creation will stand. Just as architects carefully select materials to ensure the strength, durability, and aesthetics of a building, 3D printing enthusiasts, engineers, and professionals must consider various factors when selecting the right filament for their projects.

At AM Manufacturing, we recognize the profound impact filament selection has on the outcome of your 3D printing projects. Our expertise lies not just in the art of printing, but also in the science of material selection. We're here to guide you through this essential decision-making process, helping you achieve the desired results with precision and reliability. Together, we'll harness the potential of 3D printing to bring your ideas to life.

• PLA (Polylactic Acid):

  • A popular 3D printing material made from renewable resources like cornstarch and sugarcane. It is known for its ease of use, low odor, and biodegradability.

• ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene):

  • A strong and durable filament with excellent impact and heat resistance, suitable for functional parts and industrial applications.

• PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol-Modified):

  • Combines the strength of ABS with the ease of printing of PLA and is often used for impact-resistant items.

• Nylon

  • Offers high strength and flexibility, ideal for load-bearing parts.

• TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane):.

  • TPU is a flexible and rubber-like filament used for soft and flexible parts.

• PC (Polycarbonate):

  • A high-temperature filament known for its strength and transparency

• ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate):

  • Similar to ABS but has improved UV and weather resistance.

• HIPS (High-Impact Polystyrene):

  • A lightweight and easily soluble filament used as a support material.

• PVA (Polyvinyl Alcohol):

  • A water-soluble filament used exclusively as a support material for complex prints.
