One way, which I really find helpful is to be in touch with some of scientific magazines, apart from journals. They provide some interesting news about recent development, if you find that interesting you can always go for a deeper understanding through journals and articles.

4 Experiment with samples and kits

A fourth way to keep up with emerging 3D printing materials is to experiment with samples and kits that allow you to test and compare different materials and their properties. Samples and kits can give you a hands-on experience and a better understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of various 3D printing materials, as well as their suitability for different projects and purposes. Some examples of samples and kits that offer a range of 3D printing materials are MakerBot, MatterHackers, and Proto-Pasta.

Keeping up with new materials on the market is one part of the puzzle. Benchmarking the performance of new and potentially expensive materials, however, requires jumping through multiple hoops. These can include procuring the materials, defining a manufacturing process, generating a test plan, and lots of testing & analysis. This can become expensive - very quickly. Some new material producers are able to provide datasheets benchmarking performance - so always ask for a datasheet. In other cases, Joint Industry Projects (JIPs), consortia as well as research groups can provide the information as well - so it's worth keeping an eye out for them.

On the metal AM side, ask your suppliers about materials! I’ve been on both the user and supplier sides of AM. Suppliers have a wealth of knowledge in what materials are possible, and which materials are popular at a given time. Often we have maps or direct knowledge of applications. It’s not the same as getting hands on - but it can tell you what you want to try. We print and test the vast majority of our own materials - that’s how they’re developed! That means we can often tell you exactly what is and isn’t possible. I like to think we’re a bit unique in that regard, but most suppliers will have some knowledge of applications and possibilities of their materials.

It is important to follow the new developments in the polymer science and stimuli-responsive materials in order to see if there are new polymers that can be translated to 3D printing where they can fit to specific needs in your activities.
