Advanced 3D Printing

Types of 3D Printing

•Stereolithography(SLA)

•Digital Light Processing(DLP)

•Fused deposition modeling (FDM)

•Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)

•Selective laser melting (SLM)

•Electronic Beam Melting (EBM)

•Laminated object manufacturing (LOM)

PLA (Polylactic acid) and ABS (Acrylonitrile

butadiene styrene)

• ABS – Higher melting temperature, smells of hot plastic, issues with part warping, better

strength and machinability, vulnerable to moisture.

• PLA – Lower melting temperature, smells of waffles, fewer issues with warping, more

eco-friendly, wide range of colors and ‘glossy feel’, vulnerable to moisture
