The global 3D printing plastics market size was US$ 2.3 billion in 2021. The global 3D printing plastics market size is forecast to reach US$ 10.1 billion by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth ...

Plastics There are a wide range of 3D printed plastics used in automobiles, and plastics are used more than any other material in 3D printing methods within the automotive industry. There are three ...

Shapeways, one of the biggest names in 3D printing, is adding a new squishy plastic material called Elasto Plastics to its available printing options. This new material offers some interesting ...

However, if we could mix up the flexibility of the plastic materials used in 3D printing, the scope of what can be just made at home would significantly expand. That's what Shapeways thinks, too.

A method to convert a commonly thrown-away plastic to a resin used in 3D-printing could allow better use to be made of plastic waste.

The future of the burgeoning 3D printing industry looks set to be a battle of materials and data, as the industry's emerging players work to create technology with the potential to change the face ...
