Materials used in 3D printing

Type of the material	Advantages	Disadvantages
Metals (platinum, gold, silver, brass, bronze, steel, aliminum)	Very good solidity and temperature resistance	Poor flexibility
Acrylate (plexiglass)	Low shrinkage, successful in detailed figures	Expensive, heat can cause depolymerisation
Plastics	Low cost, both solid and flexible, high versality	Amount of waste material carries risk for nature
Nylon	Strong, durable	Less printing resolution, harmful emmisions
Ceramics	Practical, decorative,food safe	Not ideal for glazing, kilning
Sandstone	Cheap	Color shade anavoidable
