There are over 100 types of 3D printing filaments used in a variety of industries, including aerospace and defence, medical and dental, automotive, consumer products, education and more. Today, we'll look at what 3D printing filaments are and explore the different types of 3D printer filaments. We'll also discuss how to set Creality 3D printer filaments to improve your printing efficiency. For deeper insights into future market trends for 3D printing filaments, be sure to consult the market trends report. What is 3D printing filament? 3D printer filament is the material used in 3D printing to build physical objects layer by layer. It is a thermoplastic material that comes in spools and is fed into a 3D printer, which then heats and extrudes the filament to build the layers of the printed object. The choice of filament material can significantly affect the properties of the final printed object, including its strength, flexibility, durability and appearance.
