Materials used for 3D pellet printing
Icon4 can print out of all available materials that can be found in the market. More to add, Icon4 cares about planet Earth and uses only recycled materials, which most popular ones are:
One of the most widely used thermoplastic materials, due to its impact strength, rigidity and abrasion resistance. ABS material has good chemical resistance, works well in high temperature and is moisture resistant.
It is a semi-rigid material with good impact resistance, but it has a slightly softer surface which makes it prone to wear.
PLA is one of the most popular materials used in desktop 3D printing. PLA is easy to print, very inexpensive, and creates parts that can be used for a wide variety of applications. It is also one of the most environmentally friendly materials on the market today. However it is not suitable for outdoors – sunlight exposure.
Nylon is a tough and semi-flexible material that offers high impact and abrasion resistance. It is an ideal choice for printing durable parts.
Polypropylene is great for high-cycle, low strength applications due to its fatigue resistance, semi-flexible, and lightweight characteristics.
