Widely used in the plastic injection industry, Polypropylene offers interesting characteristics for industrial applications such as lightness, resistance to chemicals, to fatigue, and good electrical insulation. On the 3D printing market, however, it remains quite rare. Difficult to print, it requires a rigorous control in its heat treatment and particular attention to adhesion, whether on the build plate or between each layer. For many AM machines, this material is too complicated to handle when creating parts.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xVNDJZawAe0\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p><div class=\"dnati-inside-article-leaderboard\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"dnati-943177319\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/webinar\/register\/3717757396787\/WN_sBfwcCHoQSq1mEANYpWa6Q\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"LB (3)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/LB-3.gif\" alt=\"\"  width=\"850\" height=\"150\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<h4 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Top 3: 3D Printed Skateboard Wheels Printed on EnvisionOne<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The EnvisionOne is an advanced desktop 3D printer. The desktop 3D printer is able to make tough industrial end-use parts using high performance resins. EnvisionTec have developed a high impact, high temperature resistant material, LOCTITE E-3843 compatible with their desktop printer. To showcase the quality and resilience of objects printed on the EnvisionOne, EnvisionTec have printed skateboard wheels. Skateboard wheels are subjected to high levels of impact and friction-induced heat, that most photopolymer resins would not be able to withstand. The wheels printed with LOCTITE E-3843 not only endured the heat and impact, but also proved to be high performing in general.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vaRAb7Lmj9s\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Top 4: Metal Additive Manufacturing Technology Centre of Royal NLR<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Metal Additive Manufacturing Technology Centre (MAMTeC) is a 3D metal printing research centre in the Netherlands. This manufacturing technology is used to fabricate metal products with less weight, better performance and higher efficiency. MAMTeC was established in 2013 starting with Laser Powder Bed Fusion, which allows the production of a wide range of alloys such as aluminium, titanium and nickel-based super alloys. This is done by applying thin powder layers and locally melt the powder using a laser beam. Royal NLR is world leading in 3D printing magnesium with laser based Powder Bed Fusion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EuhJEtIcioU\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Top 5: Additive Manufacturing Trends for 2021<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">As 2020 finally draws to a close, Materialise, a company specialising in software solutions and 3D printing services, look toward the future predicting next year\u2019s 3D printing trends.
