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
