Mechanical, optical and surface properties of 3D-printed and conventionally processed polyamide 12
The 3D-printed polyamide 12 demonstrated higher rigidity, Ra and discoloration compared to the conventionally processed polyamide 12. However, not all of the observed parameter differences were significant or clinically relevant. These differences may impact clasp retention, biofilm formation and aesthetic appearance. Nevertheless, the clinical efficacy of 3D printing may be significant.
