Thermoplastic Materials for Large Scale 3D Printing- Benefits and Weaknesses |
|
|
CEAD’s large scale 3D printing technology uses thermoplastics. Thermoplastics are plastics that, after applying a specific heat, melt and can be reformed. These thermoplastics are used to a great extent in other processes such as injection molding, plastic extrusion, rotational molding, vacuum forming and in small scale printing such as FDM (extrusion based process) and SLS (laser Sintering process). In this blog we will tell you more about the characteristics of 3 commonly used thermoplastics f ……. |
