3D Printing Technologies

3D Printing is an additive manufacturing process that creates a physical object from a digital design. There are different 3D printing technologies and materials you can print with, but all are based on the same principle: a digital model is turned into a solid three-dimensional physical object by adding material layer by layer.

HOW DO THE DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGIES WORK?

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)

Stereolithography and Digital Light Processing (SLA & DLP)

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)

Material Jetting (PolyJet and MultiJet Modeling)

Binder Jetting

All 3D printing technologies create physical objects from digital designs layer by layer, but each using its own proprietary method. To shed the confusion, we’ve created an infographic highlighting all the main technologies starting from the high level grouping, guiding through the printing process, exact technology titles, material options and ending with the key industry players.
