FDM utilizes heated thermoplastic filaments extruded layer by layer through a precision nozzle, ideal for durable prototypes and functional parts requiring robust mechanical properties.
What is 3D Printing?
3D printing, also referred to as additive manufacturing, constructs objects layer by layer through precise material deposition or curing. Guided by digital instructions, the printer builds successive layers to form complex geometries, enabling the creation of parts from plastics, metals, or specialized materials. While diverse in technologies, all 3D printing methods share core principles of efficiency and customization.
This innovation democratizes manufacturing by offering businesses a streamlined, cost-effective solution. Compact 3D printers operate in office environments with minimal training, while low startup costs and accessible materials make small-batch production feasible. From prototypes to end-use components, 3D printing accelerates workflows and reduces traditional production barriers.
How Does SLA 3D Printing Work?
The SLA 3D printing process begins by importing a 3D model into specialized slicing software, where support structures are strategically added to ensure stability during production. The prepared STL file is then transmitted to the SLA machine, which contains a reservoir filled with liquid photosensitive resin. A build platform descends into the resin tank, and a UV laser, guided by precision optics, traces the cross-sectional contours of the model onto the resin surface. Exposure to the laser rapidly solidifies the resin in the targeted areas, forming a single cured layer. After each layer is completed, the platform lowers incrementally (typically 0.05–0.15mm), allowing fresh resin to coat the surface. This cycle repeats—curing and bonding successive layers—until the final 3D-printed object is fully constructed.
How Does SLS 3D Printing Work?
SLS 3D printing technology starts by spreading a fine layer of polymer powder across a build platform within a temperature-controlled chamber. The powder is preheated to just below its melting point, after which a high-powered laser selectively sinters the powder particles according to the digital cross-section of the model. Unsintered powder remains in place, providing natural support for overhangs and complex geometries. Once a layer is complete, the platform lowers slightly, and a recoating arm deposits a fresh, uniform layer of powder. The laser then sinters the next cross-section, fusing it to the previous layer. This layer-by-layer sintering process continues until the entire object is formed, after which the excess powder is removed to reveal the final part.
How Does SLM 3D Printing Work?
SLM 3D printing technology starts by spreading a thin layer of fine metal powder across a build platform within an inert gas-filled chamber. A high-power laser selectively scans and melts the powder particles according to the cross-sectional contours of the 3D model, fusing them into a solid layer. The surrounding unmelted powder acts as temporary support for overhangs and internal cavities. After each layer is solidified, the platform lowers slightly, and a recoater blade spreads a fresh layer of powder across the surface. The laser then melts the next cross-section, bonding it to the layer below. This cycle repeats until the entire metal component is formed, after which excess powder is removed and recycled, leaving a dense, high-strength final part.
How Does FDM 3D Printing Work?
The FDM 3D printing process begins by loading a thermoplastic filament into the printer, which is fed through a heated extruder nozzle. The nozzle melts the filament and deposits it layer by layer onto a build platform, following the digital design sliced into cross-sections. As each layer is extruded, it cools and solidifies, bonding to the previous layer to form a cohesive structure. Support structures may be added for overhangs or complex geometries, which are either manually removed or dissolved post-printing. The build platform adjusts incrementally (typically 0.1–0.3mm) after each layer is completed, allowing the nozzle to continue depositing material until the final object is fully fabricated.
