3D Printing, also known as Additive Manufacturing, does have a popular reputation for producing novelty items, much like woodworking is known for also crafting small decorations. However, just as woodworking can be utilized for constructing complex structures like homes, 3D printing has industrial applications. The type of material used and the design intricacies are significant factors in determining the object’s suitability for end-use. While PLA is affordable and easy to print, it won’t withstand high-temperature settings such as inside an engine bay. More specialized materials like carbon fiber High Temp Nylon are engineered to handle such extreme conditions, including temperatures over 200°C.
