Meaning
Process of changing the properties of photopolymer by exposing it to light
PolyLacticAcid is a type of 3D Printing filament made out of corn starch
A synthetic polymer of a type made by the linkage of an amino group of one
molecule and a carboxylic acid group of another, including many synthetic fibers
such as nylon.
PolyJet 3D Printing works similarly to inkjet printing, but instead of jetting drops
of ink onto paper, PolyJet 3D Printers jet layers of curable liquid photopolymer
Layer height in micrometers at which 3D Printing happens
The speed at which hotend moves while extruding the filament.
Polycarbonates (PC) are a group of thermoplastic polymers containing
carbonate groups in their chemical structures. Polycarbonates are used in
engineering applications
Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is a colorless organic thermoplastic polymer in the
polyaryletherketone (PAEK) family, used in engineering applications.
Polyethylene terephthalate, commonly abbreviated PET is the most common
thermoplastic polymer resin of the polyester family
Polyvinyl alcohol is a water-soluble synthetic polymer.
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene
used for multiple applications
Similar to FDM/FFF
Polyphenylsulfone (PPSF or PPSU) is a type of high-performance polymer
usually consisting of aromatic rings linked by sulfone (SO2) groups.
Is a set of processes used to smooth out the 3D Printed object
3D Printing using sandstone or plaster as the input material. This is popular for
creation of miniatures.
Polypropylene (PP), also known as polypropene, is a thermoplastic polymer used
in a wide variety of applications including packaging and labeling
