Material type is pivotal in determining the inherent strength of 3D-printed objects. Polymers like PLA and ABS offer different mechanical properties; PLA is rigid and good for simple models, while ABS is tougher, making it suitable for functional parts. The strength of metal and resin-based materials varies greatly, with metals often providing superior strength suitable for industrial applications.
