Material extrusion is one of the most common and economical forms of 3D printing. A strand of thermoplastic is drawn through a heated nozzle. A motion system guides the heated nozzle to deposit layers one at time.
Applications
Prototypes, jigs & fixtures, form/fit models, investment casting, some end-use parts, education.
Stereolithography
More commonly referred to as SLA or DLP, a build plate is lowered into a vat of photocurable resin where layers are cured one at a time from a light source below. Vat photopolymerization is known for sharp edges, fine details, tight tolerances, and minimal visible layer lines.
Applications
\Visual models, dental/medical, hearing aids, form/fit models, masscustomization, investment casting.
Selective Laser Sintering
In Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), layers of powdered materials are deposited fractions of a millimeter at a time. The material is then melted and fused using a heat source (e.g., laser, electron beam). Powder bed fusion is great for low-volume production, large parts, and isometric part strength.
Applications
Functional parts, short-run production, large parts.
