Cross-Linking Cross-linking is a chemical process where polymer chains form bonds, increasing the material's strength, durability, and resistance to deformation. In 3D printing, cross-linking is often achieved during curing processes, such as in SLA or DLP printing, where UV light solidifies resin. Materials with high cross-linking properties are ideal for applications requiring mechanical strength or chemical resistance. This process enhances the performance of materials used in industries like automotive, aerospace, and healthcare. |
