Material
FDM — PP
One of the most common plastics in use today; Polypropylene (PP) is used in everything from packaging materials to load-bearing components. Thanks to the material being slightly flexible, it is possible to easily design items that can see tough use without breaking, while still being rather rigid. In the 3d printed form, PP is an exceptional material for any part containing threads or similar features.
