Stratasys webinar - thermoplastics

Thermoplastics: A Solid Choice for 3D Printing

When designing a new product, engineers can best predict its end performance by making prototypes out of material that closely mimic the final product. Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) thermoplastics use the same types of raw materials as injection molding—making 3D printing a wise choice. Learn the unique properties of each thermoplastic material and how to choose the right material for your prototype.
