3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a technology that creates three-dimensional objects by adding material layer by layer. Unlike traditional subtractive manufacturing (e.g., milling, cutting, etc.), 3D printing is based on a digital model that accurately builds the shape and structure of an object by adding material layer by layer.3D printing allows for the creation of complex geometries and intricate details while minimizing waste. It is used in a variety of industries, from prototyping and product development to medical implants and aerospace components.

Description Working Principle |
Advantages |
Disadvantages |
|
FDM |
Thermoplastics (ABS, PLA, Nylon) |
It melts and extrudes filaments of material layer by layer to achieve the final shape. |
Structural stability, low cost, variety of materials |
Rougher surface, moderate precision |
|
SLA |
Photopolymer resin |
SLA uses a UV laser to cure the photopolymer resin in a tank to form the layers. |
High precision, smooth surface, and creation of detailed models and prototypes. |
Limited material selection |
|
SLS |
Polymer powders (nylon PA 12, glass-filled nylon) |
Laser beam sintering of material powders in a chamber, often with inert gas to prevent oxidation. |
Complex geometries can be realized |
Long lead times and rough surfaces |
|
DMLS |
Metal powders (various alloys, aluminum, copper, nickel) |
DMLA uses a laser to fuse metal powder particles layer by layer. |
Prints complex and robust metal parts. |
High cost and limited choice of materials. |
Advantages of 3D printing:
Personalization: Easily create custom projects without added cost or complexity - perfect for personalized or custom solutions.
Complex Geometry: Create complex designs and structures that are impossible to achieve with traditional manufacturing, enabling advanced functionality.
Reduce Waste: Use only the materials you need, reducing waste compared to material reduction methods.
Rapid prototyping: Rapidly create prototypes to test design, fit and function, speeding up development.
Cost-effective for low volume production: Ideal for low volume production, saving on tooling and molds.
Faster time to market: shorten production lead times for faster iterations and quicker product releases.
