3D printing materials
3D printing materials that we work with at Additium 3D, such as Nylon PA12, PLA, ABS, Basic Grey Resin, High Temperature Resin...
SLS 3D printing
FDM 3D printing
SLA 3D printing
Nylon PA12
Laser-synthesised polyamide with good mechanical properties:
- SLS 3D printing
- Good surface finish
- No visible layer lines
- Biocompatible
- Isotropic properties
Min.

This 3D printing technology is the most widely used on the market, as it is the easiest to use at the user level. Unlike the other printing models, the FDM method offers less precision of detail in the part to be created, so it tends to have a smaller presence in the industrial and professional environment. However, its widespread use is due to the fact that it is cheaper than other methods and is more commonly used for large parts. Some of the 3D printing materials we use in this method are:
PLA
Basic plastic for 3D printing, with a good finish for aesthetic parts without mechanical requirements:
- FDM 3D printing
- Very economical
- Multiple colours
- Organic and biodegradable
- Food-Safe
Min.
Max.


ABS
A plastic with high impact strength and better thermal and mechanical resistance than PLA, while maintaining a very economical price:
- FDM 3D printing
- Economic
- Suitable for functional parts
- Rigid

This printer was the first to appear on the 3D printer market, and its use in industrial environments remains one of the most widespread.
This method makes it possible to obtain parts with a high degree of resolution and precision, as well as a smoother feel on the surface of the part. However, the main advantage of this printing model is its versatility, which is due to the type of resin used in the printing processes. The 3D printing materials we use in this method are:
Basic Grey Resin
General purpose resin, ideal for highly detailed models without mechanical demands:
- SLA 3D printing
- Maximum surface detail
- No visible layer lines
- Rigid and fragile
Min.
Max.


High temperature resin
Resin for use in applications exposed to high temperatures, with resistance up to 220º C:
- SLA 3D printing
- Maximum surface detail
- Thermoforming and injection moulds
- Parts exposed to hot flows
Min.
Max.


In addition to helping you choose the type of printing that best suits your project, at Additium we will advise you on how to choose the 3D printing material that your piece needs to achieve its objectives and to fulfil the tasks for which it has been created.
