Large Selection of 3D Printer Filament

The variety of 3D printing filaments on the market has exploded. This gives ample options to manufacturers and makers alike to quickly produce parts with complex geometries and material properties, once limited to traditional manufacturing techniques. But with so many options comes a difficult question: Which 3D printing material is right for you and your part?

Finding the perfect filament for your part might be as simple as finding the right balance between quality and price. A good PLA is usually the go-to as an affordable material for hobbyists and product designers. But what if your part needs something a little more? Are you creating a functional prototype or end-use part that will be exposed to hazardous environmental conditions? Chemical, water, heat, or UV resistance might be an important part of picking your material. Or, does your part just not look quite the way you want? Upgrading to a higher-quality surface finish might be the simple answer you need.

How to Pick the Perfect Filament

When you are choosing a filament, consider the mechanical properties you would like your final part to have. Some common properties are:

High Strength

Will your part be under physical stress? How much? Should your material have some flexibility or be entirely stiff? Can design account for this pressure? A more rigid or flexible filament can drastically change your part. Balancing this is vital for most functional applications.

Heat & UV Resistance

Will your part be exposed to UV rays or high temperatures? Does it need to be water or chemical resistant? If you’re making a part that will be in a car, near a heat source, be exposed to water or other substances, you’ll need to consider the material’s resistance to environmental and other exposure.

Extrusion Quality & Speed

Do you need to produce parts fast? How much margin for error do you have on each print? Every filament has a recommended extrusion speed and a likelihood to warp (usually measured in “layer adhesion”). Balancing these traits is crucial in choosing the right filament for you.

Surface Quality

What should your finished part look like? Should it have a glossy shine or a flat matte surface? Will the finish affect its use in any way? If you’re creating a functional part, aesthetics might be a small concern but keep in mind that grip and paint adhesion can be affected by a part’s natural surface finish.

Filaments for Rapid Prototyping

In rapid prototyping applications, there are two main considerations: cost and lead time. Maintaining a low cost and lead time will help ensure your team can produce more iterations in less time than outsourcing or traditional production methods, helping you design the best quality product possible.

When choosing 3D printing filaments for rapid prototyping, you need to consider the price of that material and its recommended throughput – which denotes how fast materials should travel through an extruder for its best quality. Though cost is important, it’s also a balancing act. Make sure you purchase quality material with a uniform diameter and consistent composition to avoid costly and time-consuming disruptions from warping or otherwise failed prints.

Filaments for End-Use Parts

When 3D printing end-use parts, it’s important to consider where and how the part will be used. Will it be under significant pressure? Exposed to hazardous environmental conditions? Exposed to water or some sort of chemical? All these factors will help determine the material you need to manufacture a functional, effective product.

Choosing a material that’s right for the conditions your product will be in is essential. Luckily 3D printing filaments come in many of the materials familiar to injection moulding and other traditional processes, so you can achieve familiar mechanical properties and can later scale production with the same material.

Filaments for Support Structures

Post-processing at any scale can be a huge time sink, even if you’re just removing support structures. In worst-case scenarios a complex geometry can even make internal supports difficult to reach, if not impossible. Fortunately, with a dual-extrusion 3D printer you can use specialized support materials to make finishing your parts easy.

Water-soluble supports are an incredibly useful material to reduce time spent post-processing your 3D printed parts. Simply set your printer to create support structures with its second extruder and dissolvable support material, then submerge your finished part to the material’s recommended specification for a perfect final product.
