Amazing world of 3D printing

• 3D printing has been one of the major drivers for
  various sectors and its growth. 3D printing has
  unleashed the potential of these fields and is
  getting upgraded over the time.
• The kind of response 3D printing has been
  receiving from professionals has been
  overwhelming. Three-dimension graphics have made
  us amazed since its inception and printing
  objects in that world without the age-old
  manufacturing process is an excellent discovery.
• If you are not able to buy a printer, you can
  depend on 3D printing services for your 3D
  printing requirements.

3D printings unique filaments

• People in India have also understood the
  advantages of this technology and are using it
  for their benefits.
• However, its materials and filaments play a
  significant role in its success. They are
  Acrylonitrile-Butadiene Styrene (ABS filament)
  and Polylactic Acid (PLA filament). Both are used
  in Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) technology.

Characteristics of ABS and PLA

• There are advantages and disadvantages in both
  the filaments. However, both the filaments have
  their distinct and individual characteristics.
• Their ability to perform and superior delivery
  depends on these traits and make them popular for
  specific products. Both the filaments are
  thermoplastics.
• They enter a soft and moldable state when heated
  and retain its solid structure when cooled.
• Both these materials are melted and then extruded
  through a nozzle to build up the layers for
  creating final parts.

Applications of both the filaments in various
sectors

• ABS are used in electronic equipment and
  automotive parts among others while PLA is used
  for many purposes like plastic cups and medical
  implants. ABS typically print in matte finish
  while PLA is semi-transparent that results in
  glossy finish.
• ABS printing has superior layer bond which makes
  objects stronger and impact resistant. Hence,
  they are suited for mechanical parts and
  weatherproof objects. PLS printing is more
  brittle and has high surface hardness. When bent,
  it is tend to brake.
• Both the technologies have their pros and con and
  should be applied keeping their abilities in
  mind.
