Basics
- FDM Filament that has had a Blowing Agent added to the filament
- Typically it is heat activated, so heat can controll the foam ammount
- A Relitively New Concept
- Some "Wood" Filaments use this method to allow for a similar finish, and properties to wood (Althogh some do use actual cellulose)
- Can allow for low density parts
- MAY allow for 3D Printed Insulation if a Higher Temperature Plastic, and PERHAPS a higher temperature blowing agent
- Also look into gas injection as an option
