Today, there are numerous additive manufacturing technologies, some well-established, others more recent. Among the technologies provided by 3D Systems, notable options include:
- Stereolithography (SLA),
- Powder Sintering (SLS),
- ProJet Multijet Modeling,
- Full-Color 3D Printing,
- Metal 3D Printing (SLM or DMP “Direct Metal Printing”).
When choosing the ideal 3D prototyping technology, essential criteria such as industry application, functionality, speed, and cost play a crucial role.
Selecting a 3D Printer by Type
Choosing a 3D printer requires careful consideration:
