3D pinting polymers

Polymers associated with 3D printing

QuestionAnswer
ABS Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene It is a thermoplastic used as a 3D printer material. The melting temperature is 220-230°C. ABS is soluble in acetone and can be use to smooth the surface of the print-out.
Copolymers Copolymers are additives that are included in the polymer to change and improve the properties.
Fillers Added to polymers to improve the mechanical properties by addidng fibres or grains.
HIPS High Impact Polystyrene. It is a thermoplastic used as a 3D printing material. Melting point is 235°C.
Monomer The links in a polymer chain. They are joined together to form a polymer chain in the addition polymerisation process by primary bonding
Nylon Also known as polyamide. There are different versions providing a range mechanical properties in either filament or powder form.
PC Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic. It has good impact resistant and can be extruded. It can be bent and formed while cold without cracking.
PET Polyethylene terephthalate, A polymer used as a 3D material.
PLA Polylactic Acid. It is biodegradable thermoplastic used as a 3D printer material.It melts at 150-160°C.
PTFE Polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon). Sometimes used in the extruder to reduce friction
PS Polystyrene. It can be in a solid or foamed form.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
