PP — Polypropylene
Polypropylene is a semi-crystalline polymer prized for its excellent chemical resistance, low density, and fatigue resistance — it can flex repeatedly without breaking. PP is notoriously difficult to print due to severe warping and poor bed adhesion, requiring specialized build surfaces and slow cooling. When printed successfully, it excels in living hinges, chemical containers, and lightweight structural components.
