In the current era of technology, the demand for innovations and renovations of existing 3D technology has increased significantly. 3D printing is used in a wide variety of fields, in part due to the increased efficiency and capabilities of these printers. However, with this increased efficiency comes the question of which polymer is best to use in 3D printing. In the following, the focus is on 3D printing polymers that can be used in the medical field. And how can these polymers be produced at a reasonable price? As these questions are brought to the forefront of the 3D printing revolution, independent laboratories are researching and developing new-age polymers to meet growing research and technical demands. Basic Polymer Technology: Polymer technology is based on the premises of heat resistance and moldability. All 3D printers rely on a moldable, heat-resistant plastic that can be shaped or “printed.” However, because 3D printing is a newer technology, having become a major topic of interest in just the last five to ten years, almost all plastics and polymers are in the alpha testing phase or "lab phase", and even those that have progressed to the alpha testing phase. beta testing phase, have yet to gain corporate and commercial approval on an expansive and profitable scale. Due to the wide variety of polymers tested and the many potential uses available to manufacturers, it is not surprising that the idea of ​​using 3D printing prosthetic manufacturing has been proposed. Leading 3D printing company Stratasys is currently testing two new polymers. They are responsible for manufacturing different types of polymers and printers used in industrial and industrial sectors...... middle of paper ......sterorganicchemistry.com/category/conformations/Additional sources: http: //eds. a.ebscohost.com.ezproxy.lib.usf.edu/eds/detail?sid=16105807-7ff0-436e-9759-1c36191816c9%40sessionmgr4003&vid=1&hid=4105&bdata=JnNpdGU9ZWRzLWxpdmU%3d#db=buh&AN=917 3 5763 http:// www .stratasys.com/materials/fdm/compare-fdm-materials http://phys.org/news/2013-11-british-3d-prosthetic-eyes.html http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih. gov /pubmed/7130212 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15909206 Image sources: FDM Thermoplastic: http://www.javelin-tech.com/3d-printer/wp-content /uploads/2013 /06/idea-series-example4.jpgPolyjet Photopolymer: http://www.protocam.com/images/veroblue-polyjet-prototype.jpgStructures:FDM Thermoplastic: ChemBio officePolyjet Photopolymer: ACDS structure drawing software http ://www.acdlabs.com/resources/freeware/chemsketch/thankyou.php?lastpage=/resources/freeware/download.php
