Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) is a type of 3D printing technology that uses a laser to sinter (or fuse) metal powders into solid parts layer by layer. DMLS is similar to Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), but it uses metal powders instead of plastic powders. In DMLS, a bed of metal powder is deposited in […]

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a type of 3D printing technology that uses a laser to fuse together particles of plastic, metal, or other powdered materials to create a solid object. It is a popular choice for producing strong and mechanically functional parts, and it is often used for prototyping, small-batch production, and the manufacture […]

Stereolithography (SLA) is a type of 3D printing technology that uses a laser to cure a photopolymer resin into a solid object. It is one of the oldest forms of 3D printing and it is known for producing high-resolution parts with smooth surface finishes. In an SLA printer, a vat of resin is exposed to […]

Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) is a type of 3D printing technology that uses a process called Masked Photopolymer Jetting (MPJ) to create 3D objects. In this process, a special inkjet print head with a masking layer applies layers of photopolymer resin to a build platform, and a UV light is used to cure the resin […]

PolyJet is a type of 3D printing technology that uses photopolymer resin and UV light to create 3D objects. It is known for producing high-resolution, highly detailed, and smooth-surface parts and prototypes. PolyJet printing works by selectively depositing layers of liquid photopolymer resin onto a build platform, and then curing the resin with UV light. […]

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is a type of 3D printing technology that works by melting and extruding a filament of plastic, metal, or other material to build up a part layer by layer. It is one of the most widely available and affordable forms of 3D printing, and it is well-suited to producing strong and […]
