abs and pla

If you have a passion for this wonderful world of 3D printing, two critical material are ABS and PLA. These are the materials that make up many of those neat things you can print. But when it comes your project, deciding on which one to use can be tricky. But don’t worry! In this guide, we want to give you an introduction of ABS and PLA and what makes these two filaments different from one another as well share with some tips on how to successfully work with them.

ABS and PLA are plastics that can be melted and shaped into a wide variety of 3D parts established. Those are the things that 3D printers take to produce what you see on your screen. ABS aka Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, which is a mouthful and then some! I mentioned polymaker polylacticacid, or PLA earlier in this article and it is bit of a mouthful but one of the most important materials with which We 3D print.

    Discover the Differences Between ABS and PLA Filaments

    So now that you know what ABS and PLA are, we can talk about how the two of them differ from each other in terms of their characteristics. Both ABS and PLA have certain attributes which differentiate them. So they have different properties like ABS is stronger, take more heat than the PLA but working with it can be a chore then you would normally expect so just as an example. ABS, on the other side, is more pliable and useful in materials that need to be bent without breaking.

    The difference in smell Another thing that you may recognize when 3D printing with ABS and PLA is the way they stink. ABS has a strong chemical odor when melted, but PLA smells sweet like sugar or popcorn. The reason is that PLA is a biodegradable material and it coroside out of reconstructed natural resources versus petrochemical build, derived from oil.
