<p>For over three decades, 3D printing has come a long way. Initially, the materials used to print with were composed of a combination of wax and plastic. Since then, material scientists have developed various new and innovative materials, in addition to the advancement of hardware and software for 3D printing which has enabled these materials to be used. However, early on, most of these 3D printers and materials were only available for those who could afford the hefty price tag associated with them. </p><p>Recently, due to the increasing popularity of 3D printing, many major material manufacturers have started to get involved in the space and thus new materials are being produced and optimized for 3D printers. Although some of these materials are able to print brilliantly, others still require further improvement before they become reliable in terms of print quality and performance. Prices for these materials can range from being quite costly to surprisingly affordable. Despite the range of options available, it can be a bit overwhelming for those new to 3D printing.
