[Brian_Krassenstein]

The New York City-based startup 3D Matter has recently unveiled a study on the key differences and benefits of the most widely used 3D printing polymer materials, which includes PLA, ABS, PET, Nylon, TPU, and PC. Each material is broken down into seven categories, helping 3D Matter distinguish which polymer material should be used for each specific 3D printing applications. The startup portrayed their findings in a colorful and engaging chart format, making their study both informative and easy-to-read.
