Finding alternative polymers has been a hot topic recently, especially with all the recent price increases of resin. This no doubt triggered numerous searches for alternative resins. Aside from price increases, there are other, more common reasons for finding alternative materials that you may encounter from time to time; either your parts need improvement, the material you've been using doesn't exist anymore, or you've been asked to cut costs yet again. Whatever the reason, it's time to start looking for another resin.
