<upd_detl>See comments on 熱可塑
http://www.edrdg.org/jmdictdb/cgi-bin/entr.py?svc=jmdict&sid=&q=1467770.1
The current entries in jmdictdb make it look like "熱可塑" is the word for "thermoplastic"[n], and that 熱可塑性樹脂 is some particular special kind of resin related to it.
Instead, it appears that "thermoplastic resin" and "thermoplastic"(as a noun) are synonyms in English. Resins are usually liquids, but because a thermoplastic returns to a soft/liquid state when heated, then hardens when cooled, there is no distinction between the plastic and the resin. "In the wild" in Japanese, it is clear that 熱可塑性樹脂 is vastly more common than 熱可塑 alone, which seems to be in line with it being the actual analogue to plain-old "thermoplastic".
This is a kind of neat derivation... Like "plastic"(adj) meaning "moldable", thermoplastic originates as an adjective "moldable when heated", which is precisely (熱(可塑))性, which would seem to be the reason that in Japanese you need a noun 熱可塑性(樹脂), since it isn't as if 可塑 = プラスチック on its own... is it?
I just searched 可塑 in jmdictdb, and the definition seems to be plastic[n]. Not sure about that....</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>While agree that it is harmless (and perhaps desirable) to translate 熱可塑性樹脂 as "thermoplastic resin" in the J->E direction, my concern is the E->J effort to translate the English "thermoplastic"[noun], as used in the Wikipedia headword. It appears to me that the proper English translation of "thermoplastic"[noun] to Japanese is 熱可塑性樹脂, and I don't see any other candidate Japanese words in this dictionary or anywhere else.
I've included references that define "thermoplastic" as "a thermoplastic resin" and "a synthetic plastic or resin, such as polystyrene, with [the properties of being thermoplastic]"</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>With the growing popularity of 3D printing using various plastic filaments, I think the term "thermoplastic" has become ever-so-slightly more mainstream. Granted, acronyms for specific thermoplastics, like ABS and PLA, are infinitely more common.
In industrial scenarios, English-speakers seem perfectly happy to drop the word "resin" from "thermoplastic resin"(or, perhaps more likely, not consider "resin" at all, which may be why the wikipedia article omits the word).
All of this said, it is hard to find 1-to-1 uses of "thermoplastic"[noun] with much of anything in Japanese. 熱可塑性エラストマー(elastomer/TPE) seems somewhat more common in marketing, which is a more-specific category of thermoplastic[resin]. I've seen 熱可塑性のプラスチック and 熱可塑性プラスチック, katakana サーモプラスチック, TPE(e=elastomer), TPR(r=rubber), サーモプラスチック・ガム, サーモプラスチック・ラバー...</upd_detl>

Plastics are broadly divided into *****thermoplastic resins*****, which soften when heated and harden when cooled, and thermosetting resins, which harden when heated.
****Thermoplastics**** soften when heated again, but thermosets, once hardened, do not soften when reheated.

Key Considerations when 3D Printing with Thermoplastics

ABS filament is the most commonly used 3D printing plastics. It is used in the bodywork of cars, appliances, and mobile phone cases. It is ***a thermoplastic*** which contains a base of elastomers based on polybutadiene, making it more flexible, and resistant to shocks.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_printing_filament
The process of transforming 3D printing filament into a 3D model:
The filament is fed into the FDM 3D printer.
****The thermoplastic**** is heated past their glass transition temperature inside the hotend.
The filament is extruded and deposited by an extrusion head onto a build platform where it cools.
The process is continuous, building up layers to create the model.
Working With Thermoplastic
https://www.flamesofwar.com/hobby.aspx?art_id=6933
With the release of D-Day: British comes the first of our Thermoplastic figures, the British Airborne.
Since Thermoplastic is a relatively new technology, and as working with it is slightly different to any of our other plastic figures, it’s worth taking you through a few primers on how Thermoplastic behaves and how you can get the most out of our new figures.
https://www.iqsdirectory.com/articles/plastic-injection-molding/thermoplastic-molding.html
Thermoplastic molding is a manufacturing process that works to create fully functional parts by injecting plastic resin into a pre-made mold. Thermoplastic polymers are more widely used than thermosetting polymers in injection molding. The main reason is that thermoplastics can be repeatedly softened by heating and solidified by cooling, making them highly recyclable materials. Materials left over from a previous molding process cycle are re-grinded and added back to the injection chamber along with virgin pellets.
