Four materials are enough for (almost) all applications

3D printing has become an accessible tool for designers, makers, students, and professionals of all kinds. It has never been easier to have a printer at home and, although there is a wide variety of filaments on the market that can seem overwhelming at first, only four materials are enough to cover most needs: PLA, PETG, ASA, and flexible TPU 95A filament.

PLA HT: The evolution of PLA for technical applications

The low thermal resistance of PLA limits its use in functional parts exposed to heat or stress. To overcome this limitation, high-temperature PLA (HT-PLA) filaments have been developed, which retain the ease of printing of standard PLA but offer much higher heat resistance.

High-Speed Printing with Reinforced Filaments

Raise3D’s Hyper FFF® technology sets a milestone in high-speed 3D printing, integrating optimized hardware, software, and materials. Within this framework, Hyper Core filaments stand out for their innovative design, which concentrates fibers in a conductive inner core, accelerating melting and improving interlayer adhesion. The result is stronger parts, with better surface finish and reduced nozzle wear, even at high speeds.

3D printing with supports

In order to be able to print in 3D FFF each layer on top of the previous one, it is usual to use printed support structures that serve as a support base for the previous elements. These structures are known as supports and in this post we will see each type, their configuration parameters and the problems that soluble supports can present.
