FDM 3D Printing is what most people think of when they think of 3D Printing. Plastic filament is melted and pushed through a hot nozzle on to a build plate layer by layer to create your part. Because of the process and materials of this 3D Printing method layer lines are visible on parts produced. This is usually used for earlier prototypes, parts that need a lot of revisions, or parts that need a specific thermoplastic for engineering or high stress applications. It is also normally one of the most affordable forms of 3D Printing.
Polyjet 3D Printing most closely resembles inkjet 2D Printing. A head squirts out various resins on to a build plate which then hardens using a UV light like in SLA. It excels at making multimaterial 3D Prints where mixed materials are needed. For example a helmet where the outside needs to be hard and the inside needs to be soft. Parts can come out looking like almost completely finished products from this process.
SLA 3D Printing uses a UV layer to harden a photosensitive liquid resin into actual parts. This process is again done layer by layer, however due to the high precision of lasers and laser systems these parts can look a lot more finished than FDM 3D Printed parts. These parts are usually used for parts that need less revisions, more detail, or need to be very visually appealing. Can also produce castable wax parts for casting metals such as jewelry.
Unlike 3D Printing which is additive manufacturing (you add material to create parts) laser cutting is subtractive manufacturing (you remove material to create parts). It is a non contact process that most often uses a CO2 laser that uses pressure and heat to cut or etch parts out of flat pieces of plastics, woods, cardboard, and other materials.
SLS 3D Printing is a method that uses powdered thermoplastics most notably, nylons. This allows the use of actual plastics like FDM 3D Printing but with higher precision. Layer by layer a laser melts the powder into a part, since each successive layer rests on the previous powder base, supports do not need to be used in this method which makes it more affordable than resins. However, since the parts are made from powder, finished parts tend to have a slightly rough surface akin to extremely fine sandpaper.
CNC is another subtractive manufacturing process. Completely finished parts can come from a CNC machine. You start with a block of material (all sorts of metals, plastics, etc.) which slowly gets cut down into the shape of the desired piece.

Medical
Manufacturing medical supplies can help patients in need. 3D Printing allows customization to fit a patient’s anatomy. We can see this in dental implants, prosthetics, and even scale models that can be created to exact specifications. Most of the medical devices use FDM printing thermoplastics, or metal that can be sterilized by steam autoclave, or gamma radiation. Be it a prototype, prosthetic, or surgical guide, we have you covered.
Mechanical Engineers and Product Designers
Engineers and Product Designers who need to iterate on their designs faster than normal prototyping methods allow them to. 3D Printing/Rapid Prototyping can provide excellent quality in an extremely short amount of time. From early prototyping stages to all the way to the later stages of prototyping. Down from a rough early drafts with FDM prototyping to almost final pieces with SLA prototyping.
Artists
Artists that would like to bring their pieces to life. See your 3D models become actual objects that you can hold and touch. 3D Printing can bring your vision to life with SLA models that will capture every detail no matter how fine it is. From very small 15mm models to extremely big models, from single prototypes to short run production.
Architects And Architectural Firms
Architects who need to produce highly detailed architectural models can use 3D Printing to create an intricate and durable design straight from CAD data, and provide a clear picture of what the final project looks like. With a physical 3D Printed model, you can better engage your clients to understand the project. We can produce simple, complex buildings, structural models, or scaled furniture, in days rather than weeks or months.
Jewelry Designers
Jewelry design and production was defined as an expensive privilege due to its complexity and techniques. However, 3D Printing has changed this concept as now jewelers can produce incredibly difficult and complex designs and geometries. Thanks to a precisely controlled laser, 3D Printing can produce extraordinary details, delicate filigrees, raised text, and detailed pave stone settings, all with amazing sharpness. With castable wax models you can even cast directly off of your 3D Print.
