Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) is a polyester-based 3D printing material that combines excellent mechanical, electrical and thermal properties with very good chemical resistance and dimensional stability.

It also has good resistance to UV, optical clarity, good gas barrier, excellent electrical properties and high gloss. This type of film is best suited for printing and laminations. They tend to have a high melting point so it’s most suited for materials that require high temperatures for sterilisation.

METALIZED PET (PET MET OR MPET) PET met is a polyester film metallized with aluminium powder. Metallised films are widely used for decorative purposes and food packaging, and also for specialty applications including insulation and electronics.

Metalized Polyethylene Terephthalate, or MET/PET as you may have heard it called, is an outstanding packaging choice for many different products. Pouches and bags made from Polyethylene Terephthalate, or PET film, are durable, heat resistant, and do an excellent job of protecting contents from oxygen exposure.

LDPE (low density polyethylene) is a soft, flexible, lightweight plastic material. LDPE is noted for its low temperature flexibility, toughness, and corrosion resistance. It is not suited for applications where stiffness, high temperature resistance and structural strength are required.

What is LDPE plastic used for? LDPE is used for manufacturing various containers, dispensing and squeeze bottles, tubing, plastic parts of computer components, moulded laboratory equipment and many caps and closures. It is robust enough to be almost unbreakable.

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) is a thermoplastic commonly used in (its easier-to-use) filament form. It can also be found in powder form for powder bed processes such as SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) and is one of the more accessible and cost-effective materials for 3D printing.

Nylon filament is an incredibly strong, durable and versatile 3D printing material. Flexible when thin, but with very high inter-layer adhesion, nylon lends itself well to things like living hinges and other functional parts.

Many of the world’s leading 3D printer manufacturers have developed systems to enable their customers to 3D print nylon. Four particular types of polyamides are most frequently used in nylon 3D printing: PA-6, PA-66, PA-11, and PA-12.

Cast polypropylene, also known as CPP, is well known for its versatility. CPP is gaining popularity as a more appealing packaging material than polyethylene in many areas because it has higher clarity and better heat resistance.

CPP Rotogravure Printing Press CPP film, Casting Polypropylene film, is a kind of un-oriented film. Compared with BOPP, it has the property of super excellent flexibility and high sealing strength. It can be sanitized with high temperatures for longer storage periods.

BOPP (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene) is a thermoplastic polymer that has many similar properties to PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate). It is commonly used in sticker and label printing, food packaging, bottle caps, and other applications.

BOPP is a popular label material made of plastic. It stands for Biaxially-Oriented (BO) Polypropylene (PP). Biaxially-oriented refers to the production process that stretches the film over two directions, making it stronger and more transparent.

BOPP Matte film is polymer film prepared by extrusion followed by biaxial orientation. These are multi-layered films consisting of a polypropylene core and tie layers. The matte film presents excellent mechanical properties in both directions because of its orientation in two perpendicular directions.

Metalized BOPP film can be used for high-quality rotogravure and flexographic printing. It is best to use for covering bottles (whole stick) with opaque labels. BOPP metalized film is suitable for vertical VFFS and horizontal HFFS packaging machines.

Aluminium (AlSi10Mg) is a strong, low weight material with good thermal properties. It’s printed by sintering aluminium powder together with a laser to produce metal parts that are equally as good as machined models. 3D-printed aluminium doesn’t look like traditional shiny milled aluminium.

Aluminium Photo Prints are composite panels consisting of hard synthetic core and aluminium sheets. These bold metal prints are expertly treated to prevent UV damage. The photo on aluminium is a particularly desirable wall decor item that gives you true premium craftsmanship!
