3D printers use a wide range of materials, including plastics, plaster powder, photopolymers, nylon, metal and even food to produce physical 3D models and prototypes. But there's another important 3D printer material to consider - paper. This isn't origami or papier-mâché. This is advanced SDL (Selective Deposition Lamination) additive manufacturing technology that uses paper to build complex, durable physical 3D models layer by layer.

Mcor Technologies has a free white paper to download showing the advantages paper has over other 3D printer materials, the importance of multiple 3D printing technologies in your toolbox and applications and environments best suited for paper-based 3D printers.

Paper offers several distinct advantages over other materials used by 3D printers. In this white paper, Mcor says you'll learn the benefits of using paper as the build material in SDL 3D printers to produce 3D printed models. Download the white paper from mcortechnologies.com
