3D Printing Material Showdown - Carbon Fiber vs. ABS vs. Nylon vs PLA

One of the most frequently asked questions we receive is “Which 3D printing material is the strongest?” With the MakerBot METHOD’s wide range of materials including Carbon Fiber, ABS, Nylon, and PLA - it can be challenging to determine which material is right for your specific application. Part strength can play a big role in determining whether or not that material will work for your application.

To answer this burning question, we are hosting a special edition of MakerBot Chats next Thursday, July 30th at 11am EST.

During this live materials showdown, we will:

• Compare the material tech specs
• Guess how the materials will perform
• Discuss other variables that can affect part strength
• Test the same prints printed in:

• Nylon Carbon Fiber
• ABS
• Nylon
• PLA
