The porosity and moisture absorption rate of materials can affect the strength and durability of 3D-printed objects. Materials like nylon can absorb moisture from the environment, potentially causing swelling and weakening the structure. Using materials with low moisture absorption rates or post-processing techniques is vital for applications where environmental exposure cannot be controlled.
