Polymers are materials made of molecules formed from repeating structural units. They include both natural plastics like cellulose and synthetic materials like nylon. Key types of polymers used in additive manufacturing include photopolymers, thermoplastics and elastomers. Photopolymers are light-reactive resins that harden when exposed to specific wavelengths, making them suitable for applications in stereolithography. Thermoplastics such as ABS, PLA and nylon filaments are commonly used in ... Read more
