Polypropylene (PP) is a lightweight, durable, and chemically resistant 3D printing material. It offers high flexibility, impact resistance, and low moisture absorption, making it ideal for functional prototypes, containers, and automotive components. Due to its semi-crystalline structure, PP has good fatigue resistance but can be challenging to print due to warping. It is widely used in industries requiring strong yet flexible parts.
