3D Printer Materials Guide 2022 [Everything You Need To Know]

Want to learn more about the materials used for 3D printing, and the pros and cons of each of them? Here's everything you need to know!

By Justin Evans

May 26, 2022

Getting into 3D printing can be pretty demanding. There are all kinds of products to choose from and everyone has their own preferences. As a result, any information you’ll find tends to be highly subjective.

Once you’ve purchased and set up your 3D printer, you’ll have to decide which kind of materials to use. Here, we’ve created a wholly factual, objective description of some of the most commonly used 3D printing materials.

Table of ContentsShow

PLA

One of the most-used printing materials, PLA (Poly-Lactic Acid) is highly versatile. It’s made from renewable sources like sugar cane, which helps keep the price low. It’s a very forgiving material with a low chance of warping and good reusability. As a bonus, it produces a sweet, popcorn-like smell when melted.

Because of this material’s low melting point (around 150°F), it’s unsuitable for high heat work. Additionally, while it’s very versatile, the final products tend to be quite brittle, so if you’re building something that’s going to take a few hits, you might want to consider using something else instead.

ABS

ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is the second main plastic used in 3D printing. It’s more heat-resistant than PLA, but can be melted down and reused if needed. Its melting point is at about 221°F, so you don’t have to worry about your creations melting in most cases.

This is a more durable plastic too, making it a strong choice for prototyping. You can sand, paint, and polish it without worrying about cracking or warping. It barely shrinks too, so you don’t have to compensate too heavily for that. For the reasons above, ABS is heavily used in manufacturing: it’s what LEGO bricks are made of!

HIPS

HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) is a rigid, inflexible printing material, often used to create support structures for larger models. It’s water-resistant but can be dissolved in d-Limonene, which prevents the notches left from snap-off supports. It’s a nice, lightweight plastic, which is why it’s usually used for replaceable parts.

Now, there are a couple of limitations. First of all, you’ll need a heated printing bed so that it doesn’t stick. Second, you’ll need a well-ventilated printing area. This is because HIPS fumes can give you a real headache if they’re allowed to build up. With a transition temperature of 212°F, it’s very similar to ABS.

PVA

Like HIPS, PVA (Polyvinyl Alcohol) is most commonly used as a support material. It’s not so great for creating objects since it’s soft and biodegradable. The main difference between PVA and HIPS is that PVA dissolves completely in warm water. This means that you don’t need to obtain any extra solutions or products and can just get on with the job at hand.

The main drawback of this material is that it has a tendency to clog your nozzle if you keep heating it without actually printing. Also, you’ll have to store any extra PVA in an airtight container to prevent any moisture getting in.

Nylon

If you want to create objects that can take a beating, nylon is the right material for you. It’s tough, abrasion-resistant, and has a good degree of flexibility to it that most others don’t. For instance, nylon can be used to create cable ties without them snapping.

The main issue is that nylon has a tendency to absorb moisture from its surroundings. This can warp the finished product and compromise its structural integrity. As such, you’ll have to store it in an air-tight container when not in use. Also, its transition temperature is pretty high, at around 250°F, so you might need a special extruder.

Carbon Fiber

Carbon fiber filament is usually PLA or ABS infused with tough fibers that enhance its stability. It’s very light, yet manages to vastly improve the stiffness and rigidity of an object. Further, these fibers help to prevent shrinking as the item cools. The required printing settings barely differ from those of ABS or PLA filament.

There’s a catch, though: carbon fiber filament makes brittle prints and tends to clog easily, and the fibers can scratch your nozzle, changing the way it prints. For this reason, you’ll need to invest in a stronger, ideally steel nozzle before using carbon fiber.

Polycarbonate

Polycarbonate filament (sometimes called PC) is a transparent, tough material that’s suitable for high-temperature applications thanks to its very high transition temperature (around 302°F). PC is naturally flexible, so it can be used in a range of circumstances, including those where the print will be subject to stress.

However, PC filament absorbs moisture from its surroundings. This can cause warping or even layer separation in some cases, so you’ll want to store it in an air-tight container wherever possible. Because of the high temperatures involved, you’ll also need some form of heat protection when printing models with it.

ASA

ASA stands for Acrylic Styrene Acrylonitrile. It’s commonly used in outdoor applications because it’s highly resistant to high temperatures and UV rays. It’s tough too, so you don’t have to worry about it shattering unless you’re really rough with it. So far, so good, but what’s the catch?

Well, ASA is pricey. Also, it gives off fumes that can be hazardous to your health. We’d recommend opening all the windows in your printing room, and perhaps even wearing a mask, just to be safe. With a transition temperature of around 210°F, you’ll also need to run your extruder pretty hot.

Conclusion

There are as many different filaments as there are printers, and it’s not always easy to keep up to date with recently released materials. However, we hope that this guide has shed a little light on all the products that are available and given you some fresh ideas for your next prints.

Photoshop allows you to print any compatible 3D model without worrying about the limitations of a 3D printer. When preparing to print, Photoshop automatically renders 3D models impenetrable. Photoshop also generates the necessary support structures—platforms and bases—to help you achieve successful 3D printing results.

Select the menu item Window > Workspace > 3D to switch to 3D mode.
Open the 3D model in Photoshop. If necessary, resize the 3D model while opening the file.
Select menu item 3D > 3D Print Settings.

In the 3D Print Settings panel, choose whether to use a printer connected to your computer via USB (local printer) or online 3D printing services such as Shapeways.com or Sculpteo.

You can now print 3D models as 3MF (3D Manufacturing Format) files. When specifying 3D printing options, select 9 for option0872 Print to is Local and Printer is 3MF File. When you send a 3D object to print, Photoshop creates a 3MF file. On Windows computers, Photoshop also launches the Microsoft 3D Builder application to further process the 3MF file.

To update the list of supported printers or online profiles, select Get Latest Printers from the Send to Print To pop-up menu.

Select a local printer or Shapeways.com print profile.

View estimated prices for printing 3D models using available Shapeways.com profiles by selecting Printer > Estimated Price.

Select the print volume units from inches, centimeters, millimeters, or pixels. This unit will serve to measure the dimensions of the volume of the printer as well as the dimensions of the printing plate.

A. 3D model B. Printing plate C. Printer volume overlay

Select the 3D Printing Detail Level—Low, Medium, or Fine. The time it takes to print a 3D object depends on the level of detail selected.
If you don't want to see the bounds of the 3D model's print volume, clear the Show Printer Volume Overlay check box.

Set the Scene Size options to the appropriate size for the 3D printed object. When you change one value (X, Y, or Z), the other two values are scaled proportionally. When resizing the Stage Volume, notice that the print plate under the 3D model resizes accordingly.

You can scroll through the Scene Volume settings by clicking the size label (X, Y, or Z) and dragging the cursor left or right. By holding down the Shift key, you can scroll through the values faster.

Select Scale by printer volume if you want to automatically resize the 3D model so that it takes up the entire available printer volume on the selected printer.
If your 3D model includes normal maps, bump maps, or transparency maps, you can ignore these types of maps when printing the model. Notice how the 3D model changes in real time as you change the Surface Detail settings.
Optionally, you can exclude the support structures of the 3D object (platforms and bases) from printing. Use this option with caution as printing a 3D model without the necessary support structures may produce unsatisfactory results.
If your printer supports multiple materials, select the material you want to use to print this 3D object.

You can enable an experimental feature that allows you to print continuous tones with your MakerBot Replicator 2x 3D printer.

Requirement: Enable experimental Photoshop features

Experimental features must be enabled in Photoshop before using multitone printing:

Select Preferences > Experimental Features.
Select the Enable multitone printing check box.

To view and print a 3D object, select 3D > 3D Print.

After setting the 3D printing options, follow these steps.

Click the Start Print icon () or select the menu item 3D > 3D Print. Photoshop will combine the 3D elements of the scene and prepare it for the printing process.
If you choose to print with a Shapeways.com profile, Photoshop will display a message that the actual print cost may differ from the estimated cost displayed. Click OK.
In the preview window that opens, you can use the 3D camera tools to rotate, scale, or move the 3D object.
Rotate the 3D camera.

3D camera rotation.

Move the 3D camera.

3D camera slide.

Return to the home position of the 3D camera.

If necessary, select the Show restoration check box. Photoshop displays various restoration colors such as Initial mesh, Thickened walls, and Hole closed.

You can also turn on Ray Tracing Preview. Viewing ray tracing allows you to more accurately reproduce the printed material.

If you want to export the 3D printing settings to an STL file, click the Export button and save the file to the desired folder on your computer. This STL file can be sent to a network service server or moved to an SD card for printing with your own printer.
View a summary of the 3D print object and click the Print button.

You can cancel the current 3D printing process using the menu item 3D > Cancel 3D printing.

Photoshop provides interactive step-by-step utilities that you can use to set up, calibrate, and maintain your 3D printer. These utilities can only be used when the 3D printer is turned on and connected to a computer.
