Technologies
3D printing offers a variety of technologies, each tailored to different applications and requirements. From FDM for everyday prototyping to advanced methods like SLS, SLA, and DMLS for high-performance parts, understanding the strengths of each technology can help you choose the right one for your project. Explore the options below to discover which technology best suits your needs.
Fused Deposition Modeling
FDM 3D printing builds objects layer by layer with thermoplastics. It’s affordable and user-friendly, great for prototypes and large parts.
Selective Laser Sintering
SLS uses lasers to create strong, complex parts from powdered materials, eliminating support structures but often requiring post-processing and higher costs.
Stereolithography
SLA creates high-detail, smooth 3D models using a laser to cure resin. It’s ideal for intricate prototypes but is more costly and requires post-processing.
