SLA (stereolithography)
SLA is a type of 3D printing process that uses a vat of liquid photopolymer
resin and a UV laser to build objects layer by layer. The UV laser solidifies
the resin in the desired shape, creating highly detailed and accurate prints
with smooth surface finishes.
SLS (Selective Laser Sintering)/DLP (Digital Light Processing)
SLS and DLP are similar processes that use a laser or projector to selectively
solidify a powdered material, such as nylon or resin, layer by layer. The
excess powder acts as a support structure during printing, making it ideal for
complex geometries and intricate designs. SLS uses a laser to selectively
sinter powdered materials, such as nylon or other engineering-grade plastics,
layer by layer. This results in parts that are durable, heat-resistant, and
have a high level of mechanical strength. SLS is commonly used in industries
such as aerospace, automotive, and medical for producing functional prototypes
and end-use parts that require high physical strength and robustness.
FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling)/LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)
FDM and LCD are popular 3D printing processes that use thermoplastic filaments
or liquid resin, respectively, to create objects layer by layer. In FDM, the
filament is heated and extruded through a nozzle, while in LCD, the liquid
resin is cured using UV light. Both processes are widely used for rapid
prototyping and producing functional parts.
DMLS
Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS): In DMLS, a high-powered laser selectively
fuses metal powder particles together, layer by layer, to create a solid 3D
object. The process is similar to Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) for plastics
but specifically designed for metal materials. DMLS can produce complex
geometries and parts with high strength and durability, making it suitable for
aerospace, automotive, and medical applications.
SLM
Selective Laser Melting (SLM): Selective Laser Melting is another metal 3D
printing process that uses a laser to fully melt metal powder particles,
creating a dense and fully consolidated part. SLM offers high precision and the
ability to produce parts with excellent mechanical properties, making it
suitable for producing functional metal parts for various industries.
Both DMLS and SLM are commonly used in industries where high-strength metal
parts are required, such as aerospace, automotive, and medical. These processes
offer the ability to produce complex geometries and parts with excellent
mechanical properties and performance.
