Polypropolene
Term · Additive manufacturing and 3D printing · MLC-T-ADM-000299
A thermoplastic polymer characterized by its high chemical resistance, fatigue resistance, and flexibility. Polypropylene (PP) is employed in additive manufacturing for parts that require durability, hinge-like properties, or resistance to solvents and acids. It is challenging to print due to its tendency to warp and poor layer adhesion, often requiring heated build plates and enclosed print chambers.
