Multi-jet modeling (MJM)
Multi-jet modeling is a rapid prototyping method in which a plastic model is created in layers directly from the 3-D CAD data using a print head with several linear nozzles. The wax-like…
Material jetting
Material jetting (MJ) is one of the fastest and most accurate 3D printing technologies. It builds parts using liquid photopolymer droplets, which are cured (made solid) with UV light. Because…
What is 3D Printing?
3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file. The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes.…
Binder Jetting
The binder jetting process uses two materials; a powder based material and a binder. The binder acts as an adhesive between powder layers. The binder is usually in liquid form…
What is Selective Laser Sintering?
Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, is the process of turning digital designs into three-dimensional objects. It is a convenient and affordable way to make prototypes as well as finished products,…
Powder Bed Fusion
The Powder Bed Fusion process includes the following commonly used printing techniques: Direct metal laser sintering (DMLS), Electron beam melting (EBM), Selective heat sintering (SHS), Selective laser melting (SLM) and…
How Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) Printers Work
Working of FDM 3D Printers Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is a 3D printing technique pioneered in the 1990s by Stratasys. In fact, the term ‘FDM’ is the trademark of Stratasys.…
What is FDM Technology?
FDM Technology works with specialized 3D printers and production-grade thermoplastics to build strong, durable and dimensionally stable parts with the best accuracy and repeatability of any 3D printing technology. Stratasys…
Advantages and disadvantages of Digital Light Processing
Naturally, every 3D printing technology has its pros and cons. The DLP technology has the following main advantages: · high print speed; · excellent accuracy of laying; · different application areas; · the low…
Digital Light Processing (DLP)
Digital Light Processing (DLP) is a process in additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing and stereolithography, which takes a design created in a 3D modeling software and uses DLP…
