 What is 3D Printing

3D Printing Process and Technology is the manner in which production is carried out — layer by layer in an additive process — which is in contrast to traditional methods of production involving subtractive methods or moulding/casting processes.

3D Printing History

3D Printing Main Types

Abbreviate Description Advantages
SLA Stereo Lithography Apparatus Very high accuracy (dimention tolerance could reach ±0.01mm)
Excellent surface finish
SLS Selective Laser Sintering Excellent mechanical properties and high strength, without support
Many raw material could be printed
SLM Selective Laser Melting Process the metal parts directly
High accuracy with good surface finish
FFF Fused Filament Fabrication Low cost and easy to use
Good tenacity
LOM Laminated Object Manufacturing Good mechanical properties and high strength, without support
Print parts' surfaces could perform the machining
3DP Three Dimension Printing High speed and low cost
Colorful
DLP Digital Light Processing High accuracy with excellent resolution

Advantages

3D printing, whether at an industrial, local or personal level, brings a host of benefits that traditional methods of manufacture (or prototyping) simply cannot.
