Glossary of 3D Printing Terms
[1] |
Composite Materials Composite materials in 3D printing refer to filaments or resins that combine a base material with added fibers or particles to enhance specific properties. Common composites include PLA with carbon fiber, nylon with glass fiber, and filaments mixed with metal, wood, or ceramic particles. These materials offer improved strength, durability, or aesthetic qualities compared to standard materials. For example, carbon fiber composites provide high strength-to-weight ratios, while wood-based filaments mimic the appearance and texture of natural wood. However, composite materials often require specialized nozzles, such as hardened steel, to avoid wear and tear during printing. They are popular in industrial, engineering, and artistic applications. |
