3D Printing Methodes
FDM Printing
FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) printing is a popular 3D printing technique that works by melting and extruding thermoplastic filament. The printer lays down layers of material, building the object from the bottom up. This process allows for the creation of complex shapes and structures. FDM is widely used for prototyping, hobby projects, and even some functional parts due to its accessibility and cost-effectiveness.
SLA Printing
SLA (Stereolithography) printing is a 3D printing technique that uses a laser to cure liquid resin into solid layers. The printer projects UV light onto the resin, solidifying it according to the design. This process allows for high precision and intricate details, making it ideal for applications like jewelry, dental models, and high detailed prototypes. SLA prints typically have a smooth surface finish, but require post-processing to remove excess resin and improve durability.
FDM Printing
+ Shorter manufactoring time
+ Available in many materials and colours
+ Easy to wright down annotations on prototype
+ Multi-Color possibilities
SLA Printing
+ Highly detailed model
+ Capability for Complex Geometries
+ Smooth Surface finish
+ Better accuracy and precision than FDM
