Fused Deposition Modeling works by melting and extruding thermoplastic filament to build a part up a layer at a time.

Advantages / Applications:

FDM is best suitable for those looking to make very low cost prototypes / models, where visible layer lines will not have an effect.

Materials List:

ABS (In all Colors)

Carbon Fiber ABS

PLA (In all Colors)

Carbon Fiber PLA

PETG (In all Colors)

TPU (Semi Elastic Filament Black)

A Stereolithography apparatus works by curing a photopolymer resin with a laser building the part upside down layer by layer.

Advantages / Applications:

SLA is best suitable for individuals / companies looking to make very high quality prototypes with a glass like finish and no visable layer lines.

Materials List: (Resins)

Standard Resins:

Clear, Grey, Black, White, Draft (Blue)

Engineering Resins:

Rigid, Grey Pro, Durable, Elastic, Tough and High Temperature

Specialty Resin:

Ceramic Resin

MJF works by rolling a thin layer of nylon beads across the build surface. Next a printhead releases agents over the nylon surface defining geometry to be fused by the fusing lamp.

Advantages / Applications:

MJF is the most advanced form of polymer 3D printing comercially avaiable to date. Layer resolution combined with nylon's durability creates the perfect mix for final product prints. MJF has officially brought 3D printing to the level of final production.

Materials List:

Nylon 12 (Can be painted or Dyed any color)

MJF works by rolling a thin layer of nylon beads across the build surface. Next a printhead releases agents over the nylon surface defining geometry to be fused by the fusing lamp.

​

Advantages / Applications:

Best overall form of 3D printing mixing very high quality resolution with incredible durability and overall strength

Often used for final production runs

Great heat resistance

Accepts paints and dyes very well

12 times faster than SLS
