Basics

This page covers the various methods of 3d printing

FDM

  • Fused Deposition Molding or FDM
  • AKA Fused Filament Fabrication or FFF
  • Essentially a hot glue gun on a 3 axis CNC gantry

Lamination

  • Automated Cutting and laminating of sheets
  • Most common one uses printer paper, and can make full color models (More so artistic uses, or for education/concept demonstration
  • Plywood version combining this and a CNC Router would be an interesting system

Vat Polymerization

  • SLA Stereolithography, uses a laser in a similar manner to a CRT's electron beam to scan polymerize the layers, relatively obsolete with the next tech
  • CLIP (3D Printing Technology) / Screen Based Polymerization same process as SLA but with a screen or projector, each frame is a layer, thus near invisible layer lines, great structural properties and precision

High Energy Deposition

Powder Based Processes

Selective Sintering/Melting Based

  • SLS selective laser sintering, uses a laser to sinter powder together
  • SLM selective laser melting Better structural qualities than SLS, and may require less post processing
  • EBM electron beam melting Can use HIGH MELTING POINT METALS such as TITANIUM, main use cases are turbines, and medical devices
