Materials for 3D printing in mass production
An overview of materials suitable for mass production, including plastics, metals, and silicone—covering requirements, differences, and classification for industrial applications.

Which materials are suitable for mass production?
Key factors include reproducibility, mechanical properties, process stability, and cost-effectiveness as production volumes increase. Here are two examples:
- PA12 is one of the most commonly used materials for additive manufacturing in series production. This plastic offers excellent mechanical properties, dimensional stability, and high process stability in processes such as MJF or SLS.
- Aluminum alloys produced via metal 3D printing enable complex geometries while maintaining properties suitable for industrial applications.
