3D Printing: What Is It?
As an additive manufacturing process, 3D printing involves layering multiple materials to create a part, also known as rapid prototyping. The manufacturing process has been revolutionized by 3D printing, which allows companies to produce complex parts quickly and at a low cost.
Rapid prototyping 3D printing transforms great ideas into successful products quickly, easily, and cost-effectively. Using 3D printing, intricate shapes can be created with high accuracy, and parts can be customized. As a result, this technology is also environmentally friendly, since it uses less energy and raw materials. 3D printing not only confirms the design, but also identifies issues early on and gives feedback directly on the design, preventing costly changes once production begins. Overall, 3D printing is an invaluable tool for businesses that need to produce prototypes quickly and cost-effectively.

Additive Manufacturing Solutions
Stereolithography (SLA)
Many design and engineering teams use stereolithography as an additive manufacturing technology. Fast, affordable, and widely available. Moreover, complex shapes and geometries can be achieved using this technology. Its high-quality surfaces and accurate detailing make stereolithography an ideal option for prototyping and low-volume production.
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
SLS is a process that uses a CO2 laser to fuse layers of nylon-based powder for the construction of thermoplastic parts. Using SLS, complex shapes and parts with intricate details can be created. Using SLS, parts with complex geometries can be produced with high accuracy and at an affordable cost. For this reason, SLS is an invaluable tool when it comes to producing complex parts and components.
Multi Jet Fusion (MJF)
With Multi Jet Fusion, fusing and detailing agents are selectively applied across nylon powder, which is then fused by heating elements into a solid functional component.
PolyJet
PolyJet involves spraying liquid photopolymer droplets over a build platform and curing them in layers to form elastomeric parts.
Metal 3D Printing
With direct metal laser sintering (DMLS), fiber lasers are used to draw onto atomized metal powder, welding the powder into a dense metal part.
