However, plastic 3D printing has its own limitations such as high amount of wastage. When it comes to 3D printing, quality and printing processes are now improving. Thus, engineers and designers are now able to find an alternative to increase 3D parts production. Many engineers and designers are now using metals as substitute for plastic. Still, metals materials have also its own strengths and weaknesses when it comes to 3D printing. To help you choose which one is appropriate for [your 3d printing project](https://www.cmac.com.au/blog/what-filament-suitable-for-your-3d-printing-project), here is a blog post about the differences between plastic 3d printing and metal 3D printing. ## **Overview: Plastic vs Metal** FDM technology is known for using plastic materials in 3D printing. Some of these plastic materials are in the form of filament spool. One of the most commonly used filament is ABS. It is a thermoplastic that contains a base of elastomers. Other [types of plastic](https://www.polymersolutions.com/blog/plastic-in-3d-printing/) include PLA, ASA, PET and Polycarbonate. On the contrary, [SLS or Selective Laser Sintering](https://www.cmac.com.au/blog/concepts-help-understand-sls-3d-printing) is known using metal materials. 3D printing with metals offers an unique combination of practical and aesthetic properties. Most engineers and designers choose metals to suit a variety of product requirements. Metal alloys such as aluminium, stainless steel, titanium and cobalt chrome are commonly used for metal 3D printing. Below is a closer look at the differences between plastic 3D printing and metal 3D printing. ## **Build time and complexity** Plastic 3D printing has generally shorter build time than metal 3D printing. Plastic 3D printers also utilise less energy and the parts can be done in thicker layers. Since 3D printers that use metal materials requires a [high level of sophistication](https://www.3dhubs.com/knowledge-base/how-design-parts-metal-3d-printing), the printing process can be time-consuming. Plastic also needs sophistication when it comes to making the desired 3D part. However, it is not the same level of scrutiny compared to metal. ## **Cost** Most 3D plastic printers are fairly inexpensive. Aside from that, most of these 3D printing machines are easy to use. Plastic filaments such as ABS are also cheap. When it comes to machine cost and cost per build hour, metals are more expensive than plastics. 3D printers and materials for metals are also costly. ## **Easy to use** Plastic 3D printing is now the [material of choice](https://www.ptonline.com/articles/10-ways-3d-printing-is-advancing-plastics-manufacturing) for most beginners since it easy to use. Plastic materials are also readily available in low quantities. Metals 3D printing, on the other hand, are normaly not user-friendly. Unlike plastic 3D printing, metal 3D printing requires to be fed, melted and solidified while maintaining its material properties. ## **Printing process** FDM, SLA and SLS are some of the 3D printing processes for [plastic 3D printing](https://www.cmac.com.au/3d-design-printing/custom-3d-printing-platsic-parts). These technologies use different varieties of plastic. Engineer and designers nowadays can choose between different 3D printing processes for metals. Each of them uses different systems. There are powder-bed systems like SLM and DMLS. There are also powder-fed systems such as DED (directed energy deposition) and LMD (laser metal deposition). ## **Availability of materials** Plastic material is one of the most used materials in the 3D printing industry. Thus, it is readily available compared to metal. Plastic is also way cheaper than metal material. This is another reason why plastic is known to be the choice for most beginners. Aside from that, plastic has a wide variety of choices for 3D printing. However, metal materials are still limited to aluminium, stainless steel, titanium and cobalt. ## **Post-processing/finishing procedures** [Post-processing](https://www.cmac.com.au/blog/4-vital-things-post-processing-3d-printed-parts) for 3D printing with plastic can be done easily. The designer can accomplish the desired outlook and texture of the object by hand or simply use tools. For metal 3D printing, post-processing is required to improve the mechanical properties and appearance of the object. However, post-processing for metals is more labour intensive and expensive. ## **Other processing parameters** ### Temperature and power requirements Plastic has lower melting point comparing to metals. As a result, temperature and power requirements in plastic 3D printing is lower than metal 3D printing. ### Material properties Since metal must meet casting and forging standards, it has much higher material properties than plastic properties. ## **Conclusion** [Additive manufacturing for both plastic and metal](https://www.cmac.com.au/3d-design-printing/industrial-3d-printing-service) are now introduced to make production of 3D parts easier and faster. There are still some limitations for this two 3d printing methods but the technologies that were used for both materials have been improving. Product engineers and designers should clearly understand the difference between plastic 3D printing and metal 3D printing. This is to choose the appropriate material for a specific 3D printing project. Partnering up with a 3D printing service provider for your project can help you [achieve reliable results](https://www.cmac.com.au/3d-design-printing/3d-printing-services-sydney). They can design mechanical design and drafting, custom 3D printing parts and many more. [![SLS vs FDM & SLA vs DLP - What are the differences?

C-Mac made changes to the tooling to make access and ease of use to decrease service down times. \*\[Service Manager\]\* An industrial fan service company had a failure of a major shopping centre air conditioning fan/ blower. C-Mac repaired the unit within a 24hr turn around for minimum downtime. \*\[Owner/Manager\]\* A major food manufacturer specializing in tomato sauce had a filling machine breakdown. The machine was brought to C-Mac and repaired in 24hrs for minimum downtime of the production line costing $5,000 per hour. \*\[RAAF - Warrant Officer\]\* Airfield support staff required a portable sandbagging frame and requested a design, prototype and trials at no cost. There was nothing suitable on the market i.e. made in Australia. "Sandbagging Frames":materials-handling/1-bagging-equipment#silt-bagging-frame are now on the national procurement data base and some probably overseas at different war zones. \*\[Mechanical Design Engineer\]\* An automotive transmission design customer needed help with designing an automatic transmission gear prototype. We suggested and engineered a more cost effective and practical way for the mass production stage. \*\[Nursery Manager\]\* At an exhibition saw our self tracking nursery trailers and indicated he had a costly issue transporting large (heavy) pots containing advanced trees. Existing method was a bobcat. C-Mac designed and quoted for the manufacture of a Self Tracking “Low Loader”. His comment on the first day of using "Low Loader trailer":nursery-equipment/7-trailers/#low-loader-self-tracking-trailer “Can now move 100 litre pots with trees, 150 metres in 1 hr and not get a sore back”. \*\[Purchasing Officer\]\* A mining design and machining company needed help with machining components urgently as they were too busy to keep up with the demand. C-Mac machined the components so the deadline could be met. \*\[General Manager\]\* Customer had to submit a proposal and compete against other countries for the manufacturing facility. C-Mac submitted drawings to show there was space in existing plant to install the new process and to comply with all Australian OH&S Standards. Working together with customer to submit proposal to the Head Office overseas WON the contract. Project was a success meeting 6month lead time and budget. \*\[Nursery Owner\]\* Needed a specific Potting & Mixing machine. for his yuccas nursery, but the problem was it was no longer manufactured. From his description and specifications our engineers designed and modelled in 3D software his requirements. "Potting Machine":nursery-equipment/3-potting-machines/ was manufactured and fully tested with potting media in our workshop, video was then sent to customer who was very pleased with the results. Machine disassembled and freighted interstate and installed. \*\[Maintenance Engineer\]\* An industrial hydraulic fitting manufacturer had problems with gear and shaft breakages with their machinery. They also had problems repairing and maintaining.
