Basics

FDM Filament that has had a Blowing Agent added to the filament
Typically it is heat activated, so heat can control the foam amount
A Relatively New Concept
Some "Wood" Filaments use this method to allow for a similar finish, and properties to wood (Although 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/Supercritical Carbon Dioxide injection as an option
Determine all it's Mechanical Properties as well as it's R Value etc
Multimaterial 3D Printing with it/how it behaves in that application. (Could one make a foam lattice wing with a CF-PC Coating for Abrasion Resistance etc)
Impact of Humidity on FDM 3D Printing (how does this filament compare to others)
